Four teens were shot in a drive-by attack outside an ice cream shop across the street from Schurz High School on the Northwest Side Wednesday afternoon, according to Chicago police.
The group was in the patio area of the shop in the 3600 block of North Milwaukee Avenue when a dark-colored SUV drove by and someone inside the vehicle opened fire around 2:45 p.m., Deputy Police Chief Roberto Nieves told reporters.
A third boy, 17, was grazed in the leg and was taken to Community First Hospital, where he was in good condition. "Next thing you know, we have someone rushing toward the restaurant saying they got shot," said Jordie Lopez, who works nearby. "He was just fighting basically for his life, trying to hold onto the blood."The shooting unfolded just minutes before the final bell rang at Schurz High School, but Nieves said some students had been dismissed prior to that.
Mily Garcia was waiting outside the school to pick up her daughter when she spoke with another parent who saw someone open fire from a passing SUV at a group at La Michoacana ice cream shop, a popular hangout spot for students after school. An employee inside the restaurant said she was working when she and a co-worker got down to the floor after hearing at least four shots ring out. Moments later, the worker — who didn’t want to be identified — heard screams outside.
