Chicago: At least eight people were shot dead in gunfire at three locations since Sunday in the Chicago suburbs. The suspect remains at large.
The victims were found Sunday and Monday at three separate locations, authorities told reporters Monday evening, several hours after warning on social media that the man should be considered “armed and dangerous.”
One of the people killed was found Sunday in a home in Will County. Seven others were found Monday at two homes in Joliet. Police also believe another shooting in Joliet that wounded a man on Sunday is connected to the attacks.
Will County Chief Deputy Dan Jungles said during the news conference that police deputies had been staking out one of the houses since Sunday evening in case the suspect in the first fatal shooting they discovered returned to them.
Mr Jungles said he did not have any indication yet of how long the people in the houses had been dead and that autopsies are pending.
