CHICAGO — A mass shooting left five people injured, four critically, near Lincoln Park Zoo overnight, according to initial information from the scene.
The shooting occurred in the 1900 block of North Stockton occurred around 4:40 a.m.
“A group of people were gathered outside … when a verbal altercation ensued,” Chicago police said in a media statement. “Unknown offender(s) then opened fired [sic], striking five victims. No one is in custody and Area Three Detectives are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding this incident.”
Police officers said found a 23-year-old man at the scene with gunshot wounds throughout his body. He was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in critical condition.
A baseball hat, plastic cups, and a liquor bottle dotted a jogging path as Chicago cops draped yellow tape around the area.
Shortly after officers arrived, a minivan that sped from the shooting pulled up to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Streeterville. Three men and a 17-year-old girl riding in the vehicle were taken in for treatment. The men, ages 23, 31, and 44, were all in critical condition with gunshot wounds to their legs and torsos.
The girl was in good condition with a gunshot wound to the buttocks.
The minivan’s driver drove away from the hospital after dropping the victims off. Police found the vehicle abandoned near State and Huron around 5:35 a.m. They were looking for the driver. A CPD surveillance camera operator described her as White and wearing a black hoodie with blood-covered khaki shorts.
Maybe they wanted to visit the memorial site of the Lincoln Park Cowboy. Is it anniversary time again?
The animals are outside the Zoo.
People need to be careful. Shooting near a zoo might injure one of the animals. And yes, I’m talking about innocent animals.
In before the “is it them Yogi” meme.
Perhaps some animals escaped from the primate exhibit and caused the disturbance.
Maybe they’re vampires.
Something tells me it’s all happening at the zoo.
This one may have an interesting twist:
”The minivan’s driver drove away from the hospital after dropping the victims off. Police found the vehicle abandoned near State and Huron around 5:35 a.m. They were looking for the driver.

Non-Hispanic white or Hispanic white? We don’t know yet.
Sure
Sure
That’s why I said “may have…”
Could also be a light-skinned black. Who knows how good the surveillance cameras are? Who knows if they’ll find the driver?
Yep. They can get feisty at times.
4:40 a.m.
Nice Simon and Garfunkel song reference.
Would have been a hoot watching the chimpanzees running for cover. No telling what was going on inside the zoo.
Huh. Sounds like a Feguson Memorial. Remember those?
I don't recall ever seeing White capitalized. Black yes, but not white.
Isn't capitalizing white almost like saying "White Lives Matter?"
Need to call the Capital Police on this?
I was sound asleep where I should be
