A shooting near a St. Rita High School baseball game sent players and parents running for cover Thursday in Chicago's Wrightwood neighborhood.
A video posted to social media appeared to show a first baseman and a pitcher drop to the ground as about a dozen gunshots rang out. Others ran and some players even jumped into the dugout to take cover.
Surveillance video shows what witnesses said was that same Jeep cutting though a gas station parking lot at 79th and Western seconds before the shooting. The woman's car was damaged and five other parked cars were also hit, police said. No injuries were reported and no suspects were taken into custody.
"All of a sudden they saw this car pull up and they started shooting toward McDonald's, so they got to ducking and everything like that, so it was really terrifying," Johnson said."We really thought this area was really safe, but it happens anywhere.""The game was still going on and other parents were really nervous, shooken up. They all took cover and kind of told me what happened," she said.
