Overnight gunfire on Chicago's Northwest Side left three men wounded early Sunday, including one in critical condition, after a woman opened fire on a small group gathered outside in the Irving Park neighborhood, police said.
The shooting unfolded around 2:47 a.m. in the 2900-block of West Irving Park Road, according to authorities. A 37-year-old man was shot multiple times and taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital in critical condition. A 31-year-old man was hit in the right calf and a 38-year-old man was also struck in the leg. Both of those men suffered non-life-threatening injuries and are expected to recover, as reported by ABC7 Chicago. No other information was immediately available.
Citywide Trends and Local Context
Citywide, Chicago has seen significant declines in shooting incidents in recent years, even as gun violence remains stubbornly concentrated in particular neighborhoods. Analysts point to a mix of traditional policing and expanded community violence intervention efforts as key ingredients in the 2025 drop in gun victimizations, according to the Center for American Progress.
Police Response
Chicago police said detectives are investigating the overnight shooting and had not released suspect information or announced any arrests at the time of the report, as reported by ABC7 Chicago. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Chicago police.
