CHICAGO (AP) — Authorities say two people opened fire at a Chicago gathering, killing one person and wounding seven others in the second such attack on the city’s South Side in the past two weeks. Police say two males opened fire early Friday at the “pop-up party” in the Ashburn neighborhood, killing a 26-year-old man and leaving the wounded hospitalized in conditions ranging from fair to critical. The shooting followed a March 14 attack at a pop-up party in the Park Manor neighborhood where two people were killed and at least a dozen others were wounded. Fatal shootings appear to be picking up in Chicago even after a year in which they jumped dramatically, from 495 in 2019 to 769 in 2020.
