A manhunt has been launched after seven teenagers were wounded in a drive-by shooting in the early hours of Saturday morning, police in Chicago said. The shooting happened in Chicago's South Side neighborhood and across the street from Chicago's St. Sabina Church and school. "An unknown vehicle drove by, and began firing shots at the crowd striking several victims," as officers were "trying to disperse a large gathering of people," in the city's southeastern 6th District, the Chicago Police Department said in a statement. Three of the victims were 17-years-old, three of them 18 and one 19. All suffered injuries to their legs, two were struck in the arm, one in the back and one in the buttocks, the statement said, adding that they were taken to local hospitals. All were listed as being in "fair condition" apart from one who was hit in the leg and the chest, whose condition was listed as "serious." "The vehicle immediately fled the scene," the statement said. "No officers were injured." As of Saturday morning, no one was in custody for the shooting, according to a police spokesperson. St. Sabina Church said in astatement on Facebookthat it was not "defeated" by the shooting and will continue to "celebrate our young people and walk with them through every passage of life." "Yet, we are sobered by the reality that there are forces — violent, destructive, and demonic — working to interrupt their promise," the church wrote. "Let us say with one voice: Enough is enough." Chicago's Mayor's Office did not immediately return a request for comment. In apost on Xon Wednesday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson celebrated a recent dip in crime in the city. "We are grateful for this progress, but we know there is more to do," he wrote. In 2024, there were 2,758 shooting victims in Chicago, according to the city's police department, a 4.1% decrease from the previous year.
