CHICAGO (AP) — The upbeat mood in a busy Chicago neighborhood known for its restaurants and nightlife quickly turned into horror late Wednesday as shots were fired at a crowd from a fast-moving vehicle, killing four people.

Four people were killed and 14 more were hospitalized in a drive-by mass shooting late on Wednesday, July 2, police in Chicago said. Three of the victims are in critical condition. Someone opened fire into a crowd standing outside a venue in Chicago's River North neighborhood at about 11 p.m., police said, and the black SUV immediately drove away.

At least four people were killed and 14 others were wounded when shots were fired from a vehicle outside of an album release party at a downtown Chicago lounge.
