A mass shooting in a Chicago park left one person dead and at least 13 others injured.
The shooting unfolded during a gathering on the eastern side of Chicago’s Washington Park around 11:37 p.m. Saturday.
Police were already at the scene because they were trying to break up the gathering when an unknown person began firing into the crowd.
Witness Terry Jones was at the gathering, which he described as a picnic, when the gunshots rang out.
“I was out here at the picnic, and I heard shooting, and I thought it was fireworks, and I saw everybody running, and falling and dropping,” Jones told CBS News Chicago.
Police could be heard over the dispatch radio saying they had a person detained and a weapon recovered. They also mentioned that a suspect was seen by witnesses with an AR-15, according to CBS.
No police were injured in the shooting. Authorities said the 14 victims ranged in age from 21 to 47.
