A fire killed four people in a North Side townhouse early Friday, one of three violent incidents reported in Chicago this week, according to police and a Friday radio report.
The victims included multiple family members. A family pet also died in the fire, which remains under investigation.
In Brighton Park, a woman died Thursday, about two weeks after she was shot in a road-rage incident near West 47th Street and Southwestern Avenue on Oct. 22, police said.
In Englewood, gunfire wounded three people in an apartment early Friday, around 1:10 a.m., according to police. A 23-year-old woman was shot in both legs, a 21-year-old woman was shot in one leg, and a man was also wounded. All three were taken to UChicago Medicine for treatment.
Separately, a woman was found dead in a lake in a forest preserve near Elk Grove Village, according to Friday’s broadcast.
Police have not announced arrests in connection with the fire, the road-rage shooting or the Englewood shooting. The causes and circumstances of each incident remain under investigation.
