Eleven people, including a 3-year- old child, were shot at a basketball court in Chicago.
A total of 10 ambulances responded to the scene near Cornell Square Park around 10:15 p.m. local time and transported the 12 victims to various hospitals, fire officials said. Another victim who was shot walked into a local hospital with injuries.
The boy is listed in critical condition at Mt. Sinai Hospital with a gunshot wound to the ear that exited through his mouth, police spokesman Ron Gaines told ABC News. Four others are in serious condition and the rest are in stable or good condition.
Ages of the victims range from 3 to 37 years old and include two teenagers, according to Gains. Three of the victims are females.
The motive for the shooting is believed to be gang-related, Gaines said. No information was given about potential suspects but police are investigating.
