CHICAGO (AP) - A 20-year-old man has died and five other people have been injured in a shooting at a Chicago house party.

Police say the shooting occurred around 2:30 a.m. Saturday on the city's South Side.

Community activist Andrew Holmes tells WLS-TV (http://abc7.ws/2fQ2sWH) there was "a good amount of people" at the home when someone came through firing a weapon. Witnesses say people jumped from an upstairs window to escape the gunfire.

Another 20-year-old man was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition. Four people - a 25-year-old woman and men ages 21, 22 and 23 - were hospitalized in stable condition.

No one was in police custody.

The shooting occurred about a block away from where an 18-year-old man was seriously wounded during a drive-by shooting Friday night.
