Chicago: At least five people received bullet injuries when gunmen opened fire outside a Chicago school after a basketball game, police said today.
"It appears to be gang-related (incident)," Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weiss said, adding that more than 200 officers were investigating the attack which took place last night.
"We anticipate solving this thing in the not too distant future," Weiss was quoted as saying to CNN.
Chicago Fire Department spokeswoman Eve Rodriguez said the five people, all males, were wounded by the gunfire and taken to hospital. Two were in serious condition, she said.
All the five victims had been inside Paul Laurence Dunbar Vocational Career Academy.
The spectators were leaving the school building after the basketball game when the gunfire broke out.
