At least 15 people were shot, two of them fatally, inside a “pop-up party” early Sunday at a business that operates as a tow company and apparent event space on the South Side, Chicago police Superintendent David Brown said.
Investigators believe the 4:40 a.m. shooting was “gang-related,” according to a Chicago police report citing preliminary information. Officers and firefighters responded to a business at 6798 S. South Chicago Ave. in the Park Manor neighborhood, according to police and fire officials.
The report says a woman who was shot three times, including once in the head, was found dead outside the building. A man, with gunshot wounds to his neck and leg, later was found dead inside in a “backroom.”
The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified the woman as Rayneesha Dotson, 30, and the man as Lionel Darling, 39. Both were pronounced dead at 4:55 a.m. at the scene, according to Natalia Derevyanny, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office.

I’m shocked that Chicago would have 2 murders and 13 others wounded at a 4:30AM party. I thought parties were supposed to be fun...not deadly.
Quick, disarm/pass legislation aimed at legal law abiding gun owners and shootings like this will stop.
Surprisingly, straight reporting.
From Game of Thrones:
“A Dothraki wedding without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair.”
“I’m shocked that Chicago would have 2 murders and 13 others wounded at a 4:30AM party. I thought parties were supposed to be fun...not deadly.”
You haven’t been to a party in LaHood, I assume. Anyway, if the party doesn’t get any ‘publicity’ in the news, it’s considered a failure.

"Pop-up" party doesn't seem to me to convey the sense of risk these folks should better appreciate when it comes to these parties. "Get-kilt" party might do a better job keeping them at home and alive.
A similar event, mass shooting with two dead, and fifteen injured, in a small church in Texas, would have wall to wall coverage from all the cable ‘news’ channels. In black Chicago neighborhoods, it’s ‘ho hum’.
Somebody needs to airlift more ammo into the wonderful part of town.
Well, this is what happens when you have too many police.
Only seven people were shot on February 14, 1929.
Pop up party.
I love watching the news media twist themselves in knots trying to describe the lives of street thugs as normal citizens. It’s quite hilarious.
South Side does not have to Obey Mayor Lighthead rules. The Tyrant only raids Northside St. Patrick’s Day celebrations - never touches the South or West Sides where her voters live.
From pop-up party to pop-pop party in two minutes flat...
Congress is right on that as we speak. That should end all shootings.
Mom always told me nothing good happens after midnight. No matter where you live.
Yes, this is an example of gun violence, not ghetto violence.
My parents always told me after midnight, 1,000,000 things can happen and only one was good.
1) You were home and in bed
