On May 19, 2022, a mass shooting occurred in Chicago, Illinois in the city's upscale shopping district Magnificent Mile near Michigan Avenue.[1] Two people were killed, and eight others were injured.[2] 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 at Chicago Avenue and State Street.[2][3] 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 restaurant.[2] The cause of the altercation is not yet known.[4]
Two people were killed in the shooting,[5] one of the victims being 30-year-old Antonio Wade.[6] Wade was one of the individuals involved in the altercation that led to the shooting.[6] The incident was recorded by several cellphones nearby the crime scene.[3] The second victim was a a 31-year-old male, who was shot in the back and pronounced dead at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County.[7]
During the shooting, the suspect fled and caused a chase between police officials to the Chicago station of the city's Red Line.[3] Amid the chase, a woman fell onto the tracks and was electrocuted.[5] Passengers from this station were evacuated as a result of the shooting at around 11:30 p.m., an hour after the shooting.[8] Several of the victims were hospitalized at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.[6] All wounded victims were reported under serious condition.[3]
The shooting was highlighted as happening a week after a deadly shooting in downtown Chicago's Millennium Park that killed a teen and led the city to establish a curfew for young people as part of efforts to curb violence.[2]
Aftermath
In the aftermath of the shooting, a suspect was arrested by police on May 20, 2022.[3] In response to the shooting, Mayor Lori Lightfoot called the shooting "an outrageous act of violence" and announced that the city would install a "fixed post" of police officers at the intersection of the shooting location.[3] The Chicago Tribune reported that amid the shooting, a fight had occurred between witness and police officials at the crime scene.[7]
Lightfoot and Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department David Brown blamed the shooting on parents of the suspects.[7]
