At least 3 killed, 16 injured in Chicago mass shooting

At least three people were killed and 16 others wounded in a mass shooting outside a nightclub in downtown Chicago late Wednesday night, authorities said, News.Az reports, citing CBS News.

Police confirmed multiple people were shot in the 300 block of West Chicago Avenue. A city official said 19 people were shot and 3 of them were killed in a drive-by shooting.

The shooting apparently happened as people were leaving the Artis Lounge nightclub following an album release party for rapper Mello Buckzz.

The same block was also the scene of a mass shooting in November 2022, when the same nightclub was known as Hush Lounge. One person was killed and three others wounded after a group that had been thrown out of Hush started fighting.

Police shut down the Hush nightclub after that shooting, and Artis Lounge later opened in the same location.
