A mass shooting on Chicago’s West Side on Halloween night left 14 people injured, including several children.
The Chicago Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that the shooting happened at South California Avenue and West Polk Street.
A 3-year-old boy, an 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy were among the injured, police said in a press conference. Police said the rest of the victims were adults. In addition to those injured in the shooting, one person was also struck by a car, authorities said.
Police have not released more information about the man who was hit by the car.

Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said pod camera video showed at least one car and two shooters standing alert and opening fire on the crowd at the intersection.
Police said the drive-by attack lasted only 3 seconds and the shooters fired randomly into the crowd. Brown said no suspects have been arrested and the motive for the attack is unclear.
So far, no casualties have been reported following the shooting, police said. Police said only that the victims were in “various conditions.”
A bystander told FOX 32 Chicago that they began helping the injured, but there weren’t enough emergency vehicles to accommodate the injured child.
“We picked up another girl, a girl about 13 years old, and we brought her in the ambulance,” the witness recounted. “But the ambulance driver said, ‘No, we can’t bring her in because you have bad people.’ So we put her on the bumper.”

The same witness said a little girl was found with a gunshot wound below the knee and taken to a nearby hospital. He also saw an elderly man who was reportedly shot in the head.
“They said he was on the ground, shot in the head and there was blood everywhere,” the man said.
