Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Jennifer Hudson's mother was one of two victims shot and killed in Chicago earlier today.

A neighbor tells TMZ the other victim was Jennifer's brother Jason. A cousin who lived nearby discovered the bodies.

We're told the two bodies were found dead on the scene at 2:44 PM. When the fire department arrived and discovered the bodies, police were brought in and the home was declared a crime scene.

A call to Hudson's rep was not immediately returned.

Prayers for these people—how very horrible. I have never heard of any of them, but no one deserves this—especially in a gun free city........

US out of Chicago. Too much secterian vilence. Must be a civil war.

No, she is a liberal and has been out campaigning for Obama.

You're right...after further investigation, looks like I was wrong.

Wow. Prayers go out to protect the son and for strength and comfort to the rest of the family that survives the mother and the brother. Very sad indeed.

That is tragic. Prayers up.

I can’t imagine getting a phone call saying that both your mother and your brother have been murdered in their home and that your nephew has been kidnapped by the killers. OMG.

I thought it was Goldie Hawn we were talking about. Still very, very sad.

Very sad and another indication that things continue to go very wrong in Chicago. Our Prayers and our hopes that the culture of silence doesn't protect whoever did this.

“No, she is a liberal and has been out campaigning for Obama.”

Would anyone expect otherwise?

I saw a report that her brother was also killed. Don’t know if this is reliable information.

[kimchi lover]

WOW! What a beautiful picture of her!

That article ought to be taken out and shot. I gave up trying to figure out what the writer was trying to say after two times through it.
