Early Friday morning, a drive-by shooting in Chicago's Far South Side resulted in four individuals sustaining injuries, one in critical condition. According to the Chicago Tribune, the incident occurred around 3 a.m. on the 9100 block of South Harper Avenue in the Burnside neighborhood. The victims, who were standing on a sidewalk when the shots were fired from a red sedan, included three men, ages 30, 37, and 44, and a 33-year-old woman.

Emergency services responded, transporting a 44-year-old man who had sustained a gunshot wound to his back to UChicago Medicine. He was reported to be in fair condition. The other victims managed to get themselves to Advocate Trinity Hospital: a 37-year-old man was treated for a right arm wound, a 30-year-old man was seen for a left leg wound, and both were also listed in fair condition. However, the 33-year-old woman, suffering from a gunshot wound to the neck, remains in critical condition, desperately fighting to recover from her injuries.

The circumstances surrounding the shooting are still under investigation by Chicago police detectives, and as of now, no arrests have been made. This information was corroborated by a separate report from CBS Chicago, confirming the details of the shooting and the conditions of the victims.
