In this evening's shooting, four people in serious-to-critical condition and one person in fair-to-serious condition were taken to Stroger Hospital, while one person in serious-to-critical and one person in fair-to-serious condition were taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, according to the Chicago Fire Department's media office.

One victim, a 48-year-old man, was pronounced dead, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. He had been taken to Mount Sinai Hospital with a gunshot wound the groin, News Affairs Officer Joshua Purkiss said.
