Two people were killed and 13 others were wounded by gunfire in Chicago Tuesday, including a masked armed robber who was killed during a home invasion in Jeffery Manor on the South Side.
A resident of the home heard a loud sound at the front door about 11 p.m. in the 9500 block of South Calhoun Avenue, Chicago police said. The man, 49, opened the door and two armed gunmen wearing masks forced their way in. The man yelled for help and two men, 24 and 25, rushed up from the basement. The three began to fight with the robbers and a gun discharged several times. One of the robbers was struck in the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene. The second man ran off. The 25-year-old was struck in the arm and taken to Trinity Hospital, where his condition was stabilized.
A 17-year-old boy was killed in Park Manor on the South Side. He was in a car in the 7100 block of South Indiana Avenue when someone approached and opened fire about 5 p.m., striking him in the head, police said. The teen was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Earlier in the evening, two men were shot in Uptown on the North Side. They were near the sidewalk in the 4500 block of North Sheridan Road when a car pulled up and someone opened fire, police said. A 20-year-old was shot in the head and taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center in critical condition.

Chiraq. Guess someone didn’t get the memo on ROE. WEEKENDS ONLY! Follow the rules or groot will be really, really upset.
One was in the South side, in a very typical area for shootings.
the other was on the North side/Uptown - a decent neighborhood that doesn’t see a lot of shootings
