CHICAGO (CBS) -- Police say a gunman shot another man and a woman who later died in the West Chatham neighborhood Sunday, but not before the man returned fire and wounded the gunman.

Police said the shooting followed a domestic-related incident involving many people at 83rd and LaSalle streets around 6:42 a.m.

During the fight, a 40-year-old man pulled out a gun and shot a 28-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman.
