Four dead, 14 injured in drive-by shooting outside Chicago nightclub

At least four people were killed and 14 others injured in a car shootout in front of a Chicago nightclub, police said.

Chicago police said that a dark -colored car passes the club around 11:00 p.m. local time (4:00 GMT) on Wednesday when armed men inside the vehicle opened fire in a crowd of people outside.

The crowd would leave the nightclub after an album release evening for rapper Mello Buckzz, the American partner of the BBC, reported CBS News.

The police said that the vehicle had fled the premises immediately and that no one had been placed in police custody.

The victims of the shooting were precipitated in several different hospitals in the region. Two men, aged 24 and 25 and two women, aged 26 and 27, were declared dead, police said.

At least four people transported to the hospital would be essential to serious condition. The identity of the victims has not yet been released.

The pastor of the eyewitnesses Donovan Price said that there were scenes of “absolute chaos” unlike that he had never seen before.

“People howling blood in the streets towards people lying on the streets … horrible,” he told Reuters.

“This is something you don’t expect to find in the city. We have a lot of shots, but nothing like it.”

After the incident, rapper Mello Buckzz said everything she could do was “talk to God and pray”.

In a declaration on social networks, she said: “Prayers for all my sisters God, please wrap your arms around all the last.”

“Feel that everything weighing on me,” she added.
