Five people were shot as a rolling gun battle tore through the West Loop neighborhood early this evening, according to preliminary reports from the scene. The injured include a bicyclist, a ride-share passenger, and a man who may have been inside one of the gunman’s vehicles.

A woman was carjacked by a man who confronted her with a gun as she walked out of a bank in the West Loop early Wednesday, police said. The hijacking comes just days after the city recorded its fifth- and 12th-worst days for carjackings in at least 21 years.
