A woman shot three men and fled moments before Chicago police officers arrived on the scene early Sunday morning in the Irving Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side.
A CPD sergeant reported hearing gunfire while patrolling near Horner Park at Irving Park Road and California Avenue at 2:46 a.m. Moments later, 911 callers reported three people shot in the 2900 block of West Irving Park Road. Officers arrived quickly and began administering life-saving measures while awaiting EMS.
According to CPD, three men, ages 31, 37, and 38, were standing outside when an unknown woman opened fire from a distance, struck all three, and ran from the scene.
