CHICAGO – At least five people were shot Friday as spectators left a crowded basketball game at a high school on the city’s South Side, scattering panicked students.
Five males – three in serious condition and two in critical – were taken from Paul Laurence Dunbar Vocational Career Academy about 8 p.m., Chicago Fire Department spokeswoman Eve Rodriguez said.
“It was crazy. It was like killers on the loose,” said Joshua Glaze, 15, a freshman at the school.
The game was in overtime and some students began to leave the building, Glaze said.
Dunbar freshman Shaneisha Turman, 15, said she saw a silver truck pull up to a bus stop outside the school. People inside the truck pretended to fire a gun and then “they really started shooting,” she told the Chicago Tribune.
People were shouting, “ ‘They’re shooting!’ ” Turman said. “It was a lot of people shouting and running.”
No one was in custody, Chicago Police Department spokeswoman Antoinette Ursitti said.
