Six people were shot, one of them fatally, when gunmen opened fire at a West Side party early Saturday, and at least eight other people were shot across the city in less than 12 hours.
Police said a pair of gunmen fired into a two-flat apartment building in the 4300 block of West Wilcox.
The first gunman started shooting up at a rear porch on the second floor of the building from a nearby alley, according to authorities.
As partygoers ran inside, another gunman burst through the front door and opened fire, Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Ron Gaines said.
One of the six people shot suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County, police said. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office identified the 24-year-old victim as Jordan Harris, of the 3000 block of West Jackson Boulevard.
At least five other people were wounded in the shooting.
