One person was killed and another was wounded early Wednesday when a gunman opened fire near a 7-Eleven on Lake Street in the Loop, according to initial reports.
A witness said the shooter exited a vehicle and chased the victims before opening fire near Lake Street and Wabash Avenue. One victim died at a hospital; the second was shot in the leg and was listed in fair condition.
No arrests had been announced as of Thursday morning, and no suspect description had been released. Police have not said what led up to the shooting.
The shooting happened in a high-traffic downtown corridor near public transit during the early morning hours. It follows a separate fatal shooting this week in south suburban Dixmoor involving FBI agents. No additional information from police had been released as of Thursday.
