Chicago police have not definitively linked the two shootings that happened about an hour apart inside Jackson Park.
Eight people were shot on the grounds of Jackson Park Tuesday night in two shootings about an hour apart, both south of the Jackson Park Lagoon, according to Chicago police.
Six people were shot outside near the 6400 block of South Richards Drive around 10:30 p.m., police said. Investigators believe two men in an SUV opened fire on the group as the vehicle was traveling. They shot six people before the SUV sped away.
About an hour later, officers were again called to Jackson Park, this time closer to the lakefront. At 11:36 p.m. police were called to the 6500 block of Promontory Drive, between the Jackson Park Outer Harbor and 67th Street Beach, for a report that two people had been shot.The woman, 30, suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and she was in good condition at Jackson Park Hospital.
The 27-year-old man was shot once in the torso. He was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center; his condition was not released. Police said there were two gunmen in the shooting that wounded six people and one gunman in the shooting that left two people injured.“We cannot confirm a link, as detectives are still investigating,” police spokeswoman Kellie Bartoli said in an email.
