CHICAGO (WLS) — Five people were shot, three fatally, after an apparent Southwest Side street race on Sunday morning, Chicago police said.

The shooting happened in the Brighton Park neighborhood’s 4300 block of South Kedzie Avenue at about 4 a.m., police said. At least 13 rounds were fired.

Police responded to a call of a car caravan and determined five people had been shot. The three victims who died were affiliated with a gang, police said.

The two people who survived are expected to recover from their injuries, police said. It is unclear how the drag racing escalated into a shooting.

Police said they are still looking to speak with “one or two people” who are “not necessarily” those in the hospital.
