5 shot and wounded in Chicago's Uptown neigbourhood

Five people were wounded in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood near a Baptist church where volunteers were serving dinner to the homeless, police said. Witnesses told police shots rang out as a car drove through the intersection of North Sheridan Road and West Wilson Avenue, WMAQ-TV, Chicago, reported Tuesday. More than 20 bullet casings were found after the five males were taken to nearby hospitals. There was no immediate word on their conditions. "It looked like a war had took place," said Joseph Rogers, a security guard at a nearby market. "There was blood everywhere." The Uptown shootings followed a violent weekend in Chicago that left at least six people dead and 27 others wounded. Among the victims was a 7-year-old boy who was shot as he walked his bicycle up to his home.
