Overview
- Police confirmed a late-night shooting inside a Loop 7‑Eleven that wounded a 26-year-old man multiple times and grazed a 23-year-old, and both were taken to Northwestern Hospital in fair condition.
- Authorities said the 7‑Eleven gunman fled east on Adams Street after a brief struggle with a customer and multiple shots were fired inside the store.
- Reporters and witnesses described a separate overnight incident near State and Lake in which someone reportedly stepped out of a car, opened fire and chased victims as gunfire moved down Lake Street.
- On-scene video from the State-and-Lake location showed roughly two dozen evidence markers and investigators were processing the scene while an official police report had not yet been released.
- The cluster of downtown shootings has immediate human impact for victims and bystanders and could prompt increased police response and caution among commuters, students and businesses in the Loop.
