On May 19, 2022, a mass shooting occurred in Chicago, Illinois, United States, in the city's Magnificent Mile shopping district, near Michigan Avenue. Two people were killed, and eight others were injured. One person has been taken into custody with the weapon also being obtained by Chicago police.
Shooting
The shooting occurred at about 10:40 p.m. CDT (UTC−05:00), near a McDonald's establishment on the Near North Side neighborhood of Chicago. The incident occurred a few blocks from the city's Magnificent Mile shopping district. The shooting happened as a result of an altercation outside the McDonald's restaurant. The cause of the altercation is not yet known; however it was described as "personal" by detectives. The shooting was triggered when police officers, who were near the area noticed two groups engaging in a fight.
After the shooting, the suspect fled and caused a chase between police officials to the Chicago station of the city's Red Line. Amid the chase, a woman fell onto the tracks and was electrocuted at the State Street subway. Passengers from this station were evacuated at around 11:30 p.m., an hour after the shooting.
Several of the victims were hospitalized at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. All wounded victims were reported under serious condition.
The shooting was significant because it happened a week after a shooting in downtown Chicago's Millennium Park where a teen was shot and killed and led the city to enforce a curfew for young people.
Victims
Two people were killed in the shooting, one of the victims being 30-year-old Antonio Wade. Wade was one of the individuals involved in the altercation that led to the shooting. The incident was recorded by several cellphones nearby the crime scene. The second victim was a 31-year-old male, who was hospitalized at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, was shot in the back of the head.
Aftermath
In the aftermath of the shooting, a suspect was arrested by police on May 20, 2022. Another person was arrested for obstructing the officers from making an arrest at the scene. In response to the shooting, Mayor Lori Lightfoot called the shooting "an outrageous act of violence" and announced that the city would increase police presence near the area of the shooting. The Chicago Tribune reported that during the shooting, a fight had happened between witness and police officials.
Lightfoot and Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department David Brown blamed the shooting on parents of the suspects.
