Coleman said she and her staff of five continued to work and fill orders as police canvassed the scene. Her father opened the take-out restaurant in 1980, and she said she can't recall another shooting happening so close.



"The community needs to come together," said Coleman, 40. "It's not just my kids, it's all of these kids. Something has got to be done, and it has to be done soon."



Earlier Thursday on the Northwest Side, a 24-year-old man was fatally shot in the Kilbourn Park neighborhood, police said.



Officers responding to a call of a person shot just after 5:40 a.m. found him lying on the ground in the 4000 block of West Melrose Street, police said.



Police said the victim and a friend were walking east on Melrose when two people in a gold minivan asked him about his gang affiliation. One of the people pulled out a weapon and fired, striking the man in the chest, police said.
