The shooters fled on foot, according to the police, and the matter is under investigation, Daily Caller reported.

“Cooperation has been very limited with detectives, and based on victim profiles we suspect this could have been a possible retaliatory shooting from an earlier incident that stemmed from an ongoing gang conflict in that neighborhood,” said police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

Mayor-elect Lori Lightfoot is “heartbroken” about the incident, according to a tweet she posted. Lightfoot had predicted the warmer weather would lead to a rise in violent crime, saying she would wait to evaluate police Superintendent Eddie Johnson until the summer season is over.

Last weekend saw 22 people shot, three of them fatally, across the city.

Terrible.

Rest in peace.

God Bless.
