Seven teenagers, including a child as young as thirteen, have been shot following a riot at a Christmas tree lighting event in the US.
The chaos unfolded last night in Chicagos Loop, just hours after citys official Christmas light ceremony in nearby Millennium Park. The teenagers, all aged between 13 and 17, were shot at around 9:50pm, near the intersection of State and Randolph streets.
The Chicago Police Department said. Alderman Hopkins, who represents the district of second ward, told how multiple police officers were also attacked and injured with mace and stun guns, with at least one hospitalised.
The free event was reportedly stormed by as many as 300 young people, Hopkins added. He wrote on X 300 juveniles rioting in the Loop now, at least 5 victims shot, one critical with life threatening gunshot wound to torso. Multiple police officers attacked and injured with mace and stun guns, at least one PO hospitalized
Courtney Spinelli, a reporter with WGNNews, said officers saw a large group appear on the streets and then heard shots being fired near the Chicago Theatre. Spinelli also confirmed that the youngest victim was a 13 year old girl, who was shot in the leg and is in a fair condition.
The only other female victim was a 14 year old who was shot in the hip. All the remaining victims are boys who suffered gunshots to the leg or a graze wound, with all said to be in a good condition
The incident was followed by a second nearby shooting near Adams and Dearborn streets just half an hour later.
There, an 18 year old man was shot in the leg and left seriously injured. Another male victim was pronounced dead in hospital after suffering multiple gunshot wounds.
