Four people were shot and wounded during a funeral procession in the Chicago area on Saturday afternoon, authorities said. One person had critical injuries and another was listed as being in critical but stable condition that night, after both were admitted to a local hospital. The other two victims received treatment at a different hospital, where their injuries were not considered life-threatening.
The shooting happened at about 1 p.m. in Oak Park, a suburban village about 10 miles from downtown Chicago, as the procession traveled from the city to a cemetery around 30 minutes north, in Des Plaines, according to Oak Park police.
With the procession en route to the cemetery, a white pickup truck pulled up next to one of the vehicles and someone inside started firing weapons into that car, striking two passengers, the village of Oak Park said in a news release, citing law enforcement officials. The wounded passengers were taken to Loyola Medical Center, where they were listed in critical and critical but stable condition.
