A shooting at a party in Chicago‘s South Side over the weekend left two people dead among the at least 15 people struck by gunfire.
Police responded to a fight that broke out between several people around 4:40 a.m. on Sunday. Those shot were between the ages of 20 and 44, and over a dozen people remain in serious or critical condition at hospitals, according to the Chicago Sun Times.

Police Superintendent David Brown said during a news conference on Sunday that four guns were recovered from the scene, but no one has been taken into custody.
Brown said several witnesses have yet to be interviewed due to their conditions, and detectives are still working on a preliminary investigation.
“We have a lot of work to do,” Brown said. “Detectives are really just getting started.”
He added that the site of the shooting was a garage that houses a towing company and occasionally holds parties and that this particular instance could have been for one such “pop-up party.”

The superintendent said city officials would conduct a “deep dive” look into the property’s history to see if the owner had been cited for past violations.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
