The police department on Tuesday confirmed that a toddler
and a 26-year-old man riding in a car were shot and killed in Chicago in
the second deadly incident involving a child in the city in the past
two days.
Chicago
police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the toddler was sitting in a
car driven by the child's aunt and was shot in the head. The child was
pronounced dead at a hospital.
The
man, who was in the passenger seat in front of the child, died at the
scene and the woman was wounded. The shooting was captured in a social
media video that shows the three in a vehicle, listening to music, when
16 gunshots are heard.
The
woman runs from the vehicle screaming and yells that she has been shot
in the stomach. The woman, who is pregnant, was taken to Mount Sinai
Hospital, and she and her unborn child are in stable condition.
Guglielmi
further said the 26-year-old man who died was a known gang member ans
the three were shot in an alleyway on the southwest side of the city by
an assailant who got out of a car that was driving by.
