In the early hours of Monday morning, a drive-by shooting in Chicago's Fuller Park neighborhood resulted in three men being wounded, with the assailants still at large. As reported by the Chicago Tribune, the incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. in the 5200 block of South Princeton Avenue, where a gunman opened fire from a truck into a group of people on an otherwise quiet lot.

The Chicago Police have confirmed that the victims were all male, with one 24-year-old man suffering a gunshot to the right cheek—he was subsequently taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and is in good condition, the Chicago Tribune detailed further two men, another 24 and a 21-year-old, were also struck but declined medical treatment on the scene after each receiving a graze wound, on the back and above the right eye respectively, painting a grave picture of violence that suddenly erupted in the South Side community.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the incident remains shrouded in mystery, with the victims choosing not to cooperate with the police inquiry. No arrests have been made in connection with the shooting.
