Police have not confirmed if any of the victims were students.
A shooting near a high school on Chicago’s Lower West Side left two people dead and two others injured Friday afternoon, police said.
In a news conference, Chicago police Superintendent David Brown said that a suspect has not yet been identified for the shooting outside Benito Juarez High School in the Pilsen neighborhood. However, Brown disclosed that investigators believe the shooting was “a potential gang conflict.” He said an “aggressive” investigation is underway.
The two injured victims were in serious condition, Brown said. He declined to provide any further information about the victims, including age or gender, or whether they were students at the school.
