Man and teen, 16, die after shooting erupts at Chicago store

CHICAGO (AP) - A man caught in the crossfire when shots were fired inside a Chicago store was killed along with a 16-year-old boy who had fired into the business, police said.

Chicago police said the teen fired shots into Big Salem's Food Mart on the city's South Side about 9 p.m. Wednesday while apparently targeting two males inside the business.

That pair returned fire, striking the teen in the abdomen and neck, and also striking a 49-year-old man who was inside the store in the neck and head, police said.

The boy and the man were taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where both were pronounced dead, police said.

The two other shooters left the scene and no one else was injured, police said.

No arrests have been reported in the shooting in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood.
