CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago authorities say two brothers are dead and several other people are injured after a shooting at a family Christmas party.
Police say people were gathered for a house party Sunday night on a porch when someone allegedly walked out of a nearby alley and opened fire.
No one is in custody and a motive has not been released.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victims as 18-year-old James Gill, who was pronounced dead at the scene, and 21-year-old Roy Gill. He died later at a hospital. Several others were hospitalized for injuries.
The Chicago Tribune reports (https://trib.in/2hr6Uju) the men were brothers. Family members, ready to celebrate the holiday, were instead mourning the tragedy.
Kim Gill tells the newspaper her brothers were working and attending a city college.
