Police are considering this an isolated incident and not gang-related.
Safer to be in Iraq than Chicago.....This is SouthSide Chicago. Gunfire is as common as a car horn is in most communities.
It's common for attendees at a wake/memorial to be carrying guns?

The house party just days before Christmas was to honor the birthday of Lonell Irvin, a 22-year-old man fatally shot during an attempted carjacking in April, sources told the Chicago Tribune.
At least two gunmen are believed to have opened fire just after 12:30 a.m. with at least four victims — including a 16-year-old boy — left in critical condition, police said.
The victims range in age between 16 and 48 and suffered “different and various gunshot wounds to their bodies,†Chicago police Chief of Patrol Fred Waller said. ...

What they’re not telling you is that the “memorial†was for a POS thug who was killed while attempting to carjack a CCW holder.
Makes me miss Al Capone.

Saturday would have been Lonell Irvin’s 23rd birthday. Unfortunately, Lonell wasn’t there to celebrate the occasion, because he was stupid.
In April, Lonell tried to carjack a guy’s BMW at gunpoint, but the driver had a concealed carry license, and that was the end for Lonell.
Despite his fatal stupidity, Lonell was beloved by his family in Chicago, so they had a memorial for him on Saturday, and it seems to have been attended by many similarly stupid people:QuoteChicago police are questioning a person of interest after 13 people were wounded, four of them critically, during a shooting inside a memorial gathering early Sunday in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side, authorities said. . . .(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qJez7f6cask/Xf_xggu9MbI/AAAAAAAAflI/7llL1qwE3egkwBOo_gRbD2Wog-_HsZsWQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Lonell_Irvin.JPG)... A 29-year-old woman near the scene of this latest shooting told a reporter for the Chicago Tribune: “Your kids can’t grow up, you can’t do nothing. This is what our life is going to be about. . . . Y’all can try your best to stay out here and watch these streets all night, but no matter how they do it, it’s going to be multiple deaths, multiple shootings, innocent people getting shot. I cannot wait to leave Chicago.â€
Hey, good luck with that. Hope you make it out alive.
This is SouthSide Chicago. Gunfire is as common as a car horn is in most communities.Makes you wonder if we're building 'the wall' in the right place...
Most of Chicago is no more dangerous than any other city. But yes, SouthSide is its own place.
