The shooting left 12 people wounded, including four women, all of whom were taken to local hospitals for treatment.

Chicago Police have established a security perimeter around the area and launched an investigation, while officers continue an extensive search to identify and apprehend those responsible for the attack.

No further details about the victims’ conditions or possible motives have yet been released.
