More than one dozen people, including three children, were injured in a drive-by shooting in Chicago's Garfield Park neighborhood on Monday night.
According to Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown, a group of people were gathered near the intersection of California Avenue and Polk Street at approximately 9:30 p.m. when at least two individuals in a dark SUV began “randomly shooting into the crowd."
Brown said the shooting was over in a matter of seconds and was captured on POD video, which police are reviewing.
Authorities say that up to 13 people may have been hit by gunfire, and another individual was hit by a vehicle at the scene.

Brown said there were three juvenile victims: a 3-year-old, an 11-year-old and a 13-year-old. The rest of the victims were adults who ranged in age from their 30s to their 50s. Additionally, one person was struck by a car.
The victims were taken to several local hospitals and Brown said their conditions range from non-life threatening injuries to critical condition. There are not yet any reported fatalities.
Brown says that a vigil was taking place at the intersection at the time of the shooting, but it is unclear whether there were any other gatherings at the corner, which is a popular gathering spot in the neighborhood.
