Fifteen people suffered gunshot wounds to various parts of their bodies. Ten of those victims are female. Their conditions range from serious to good.

Those associated with the funeral are upset, saying they tried to warn police of threats made to shoot-up the event.
Police say they had two cars sitting outside the funeral, and a tactical team nearby.
Detectives say the funeral was for a man who was killed in a gang-related shooting on July 14 in Englewood.
“Someone gets shot which prompts someone else to pick up a gun. This same cycle repeats itself over and over and over again. This cycle is fueled by street gangs, guns and drugs,” CPD Supt. David Brown said during a press conference Wednesday.
The shooting happened just as President Donald Trump said he plans to deploy 150 federal agents to Chicago to deal with an uptick in violent crime.
Anyone with information on this mass shooting is urged to call Area South Detectives at (312) 745-2325.
Father Michael Pfleger and St. Sabina Church is offering a $15,000 reward, $1,000 for each victim, for information leading to the arrests of the shooters involved in this attack.
