CHICAGO — Two people have died and three are injured after a shooting in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago on Monday afternoon in what police described as a “targeted” home invasion, according to officials.
The Chicago Fire Department responded to the 2900 block of East 78th Street at about 1:45 p.m. Two people died at the scene and three others were transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center, according to fire officials. One of the three injured people went to a nearby McDonald’s to seek help.
In a Monday afternoon news conference, police Deputy Chief Sean Loughran said preliminary information indicates the people were shot during a “targeted” home invasion. “What I can say specifically is (it) does not appear to be a random act,” he added.
