A16-year-old boy was killed and another boy, 15, was wounded this afternoon in a
shooting in the city's Gage Park neighborhood that police say is
gang-related.
The shooting happened shortly after 2 p.m. on the 5800 block of South
Fairfield Avenue.
Police said both teens, who live across the street from each other on the
block where they were shot, have criminal histories and identify with the same
local gang.
Police say two male attackers ran toward the teens from behind a tree. Both
teens tried to run and one of the attackers opened fire, hitting the pair.
The older boy was dead at the scene and the other suffered wounds to his legs
in the shooting.
A Chicago Fire Department ambulance took the second victim in
serious-to-critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
They were a couple doors down from where they lived when they were shot
