About 8 p.m., the children and a 20-year-old man were gathered with other people outside in the 1100 block of South Troy Street when two people fired into the crowd from down the street, according to Chicago Police.

One of the children, a 14-year-old boy, was in critical condition after he was shot in his head, police said.
