Girl, 16, among 5 shot and seriously wounded in mass shooting near elementary school in Lawndale

A 16-year-old girl was among five people seriously wounded in a mass shooting near an elementary school early Sunday in Lawndale on the West Side.

About 1:30 a.m., the group of five, ranging in age from 16 to 33, were on the sidewalk in the 800 block of South Karlov Avenue near Daniel Webster Elementary School, when a fight broke out and shots were fired, Chicago police said.

The teen was shot in the back, a man and woman, both 21, were shot in the left arm and a 33-year-old man was shot in the face, officials said. They were all taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in serious condition.

A second 21-year-old man was shot in the left side of the body and taken to Stroger Hospital, also in serious condition, police said.

At least 97 evidence markers could be seen scattered in the street and around the corner outside the school. Officers were seen taking notes and hovering flashlights over tall grass in search of evidence.

No one was in custody.
