Another woman who is the mother of one of the victims was taken to Stroger for emotional distress after she collapsed in grief. Her condition was stable, the Fire Department said.
The crime scene was very large, with more than 30 evidence markers dotting the scene.
Witnesses said they heard as many as two dozen shots in what they say is normally a quiet neighborhood. None of the witnesses would go on camera.
Late Sunday afternoon, police investigators were walking between the alley and a building where one of the victims is believed to have stumbled before collapsing. There was quite a bit of blood evidence near the building.
