CHICAGO (WLS) -- Surveillance video captured the chaotic moments just after 1 a.m. on Sunday, when seven people were shot, one of them fatally, during a large gathering in Chicago's Austin neighborhood.
Dozens of people can be seen running away from gunfire, taking shelter behind vehicles. Among them was a gunman, dressed in jeans and a white top. He opened fire before running away.
Police said the gathering started out as a celebration of life.
Terry'a Adams, 25, was killed in the shooting. The group was gathering to remember her boyfriend, who died in a crash four years ago.
"She said, 'I'll be back, ma.' She's not back," said Adams' mother, Pinkie McBride. ""Y'all killed my baby. She had a future."
Adams' mother says she was supposed to start nursing school in August.

I know we always have Celebrations of Life at 1am in one of the worst neighborhoods in the city.
Doesn’t everyone?
Effing savages.

Did they wrap up the midnight basketball game early for this?
I don’t have to look because of her name,!
Terry’a? Pinkie? Tells me what I need to know.
Unless you’ve actually been in those parts of the city you have no idea just how bad things really are. And it’s all such a damned waste.
I used to care about the decent people who are stuck there. I really did. But after decades of watching them absolutely refuse to do anything about it I just can’t anymore. I’m completely out of give a damns.
If they really wanted to they could clean their neighborhoods up. But they don’t. So they won’t.
And may God forgive me, I just don’t care anymore.

Misleading headline, because no one has heard of Austin neighborhood In Chicago. It was just another sunny day in Chicago.
Yep, this country is getting all the pain it deserves.
Weak Men Make For Hard Times.
I guess nothing says I celebrate Life like whipping out your glock and firing into a crowd of people...
Last Wednesday evening some ferals opened fire on a bunch of kids with two full auto Glocks. Killed a 14 year old boy. For a minute I felt bad for the dead kid.
But then I thought that the killers probably did him and society a favor by ending his life early.

The headline is designed to make the reader conclude this happened in Texas. If you read the story, you find out it was Chicago, which fills in a lot of blanks.
What a great group
Really. What does Terry tell you?
The ‘black community’ sure knows how to celebrate life....
Another one of Satan’s fr’kn animals running loose in the country!!
You think these guys know The Commodores?
I guess they want to continue these "celebrations' into perpetuity.
Not “Terry” but “Terry’a” — Terry + apostrophe + A. No ghetto name is truly complete without an apostrophe. A floating accent is a nice touch too. Touche’.
Agreed. If it happened in Texas, it would be mildly interesting.
That some cultural communities deal with death by killing some of the survivors is not a phenomena unique to the present time in America.
Who am I to judge?
La - a (the dash don’t be silent) that, buy the way, is a real name and a real quote.
