Terrorists Attack Hits London In New Month, 49 Feared Dead, 113 Wounded
Disputes between terrorists are believed to be partially responsible for more than four dozen shootings in which 49 people were killed and 113 wounded over the six hour.
Lewis said investigators don’t believe any of the shootings are related to each other.
“We don’t have anything that connects these cases,” she said. “But there were several shootings with multiple victims.”
One of the fatal shootings occurred on the city’s west side.
“Witnesses reported that they heard shots and observed the suspect running in an alley,” Officer Nicole Kirkwood said. “The suspect is a white male, about 5-foot-8, with long hair, wearing a green shirt and blue jeans.”
The victim was transported to a local hospital where he waahot after an argument inside a liquor store at West McNichols and Wildemere. The suspect forced the victim at gunpoint into the victim’s vehicle, police said. The victim began to drive but was shot about a block away while attempting to escape.
The suspect ran eastbound, according to the report. Police are investigating with help from eyewitnesses and surveillancevideo from inside the liquor store.
Three other male victims, ages 24, 25, and 41, were wounded in the shooting.
Further details about the incident are unclear as police continue to investigate, Kirkwood said.
A 15-year-old girl was shot in a drive. on the 15000 block of Manor, Officer Dan Donakowski said. She was standing outside when an unknown suspect opened fire from inside a dark-colored vehicle, possibly a Dodge Caravan.
Ten minutes later, two women were shot on the 300 block of Rosedale, Donakowski said. The women, ages 26 and 25, heard the gunshots and felt pain while standing on a porch.
Two men, ages 28 and 25, were shot.
“Unknown suspects pulled up in a dark-blue minivan, and the sliding door on the passenger side opened up,” he said. “Someone inside started firing shots.”
The 28-year-old victim was in temporary-serious condition and the 25-year-old victim.
About a half-hour later, three people were shot. on the 2000 block of Cadillac, Donakowski said. The 19-year-old man, 38-year-old woman and 21-year-old woman were standing outside when they were wounded.
Two vehicles may have been involved in the Cadillac shooting, including a Chevy Trailblazer. The three victims were in temporary-serious condition.
Details about at least four additional people shot overnight were not immediately available
