A barbecue at a South Side park was interrupted by gunfire early Tuesday, leaving Antian Hardmon, Ayanna Northern, and Tyrone Spikes dead, and three other people injured in the Fuller Park neighborhood.

About 30 people were enjoying the barbecue, a memorial for someone who died in a crash years ago, when more than 15 shots rang out, according to a woman who wished to be identified only as “Shorty.”

Five people were shot about 12:10 a.m. in the 300 block of West 42nd Street when two males opened fire from an alley, according to Chicago Police. Lawn chairs and beer cans could be seen strewn about the edge of the park at the end of the block.

Maybe we could have a lethality-reduction program where they turn in their guns for FREE spears!

Sad story all around. But geez hanging out in a park in a bad neighborhood after midnight?????

It's their neighborhood, by choice I assume, the time of day is irrelevant to the thugs, and Chicago's gun control laws kept any of the innocent victims from shooting back and protecting their lives.

Fuller Park has been one of the most historically bad neighborhoods in Chicago.

I know, right? Imagine if 6 or 8 people were killed. She might’ve dropped her beer/cigarette in horror at that.

But just 4? Nahhhh. Just another crazy Chicago weekend.
