Chicago Police said five victims were shot in the Roseland neighborhood near West 99th and South Princeton before they were transported to hospitals.
The victims were in a park when people in a gray Honda sedan opened fire. Two men — ages 37 and 33 — were killed, police spokesperson Tom Ahern said. Three men — ages 27, 25 and 19 — were hospitalized in various conditions.
