Chicago: 6 shot in 15-minute span, teen killed
[Chicago Tribune] Gunmen opened fire on a Southeast Side park, killing a 17-year-old boy and wounding three others in a neighborhood that hasn't seen a slaying since last summer, Chicago police said this morning.

The shooting at Merrill Park in the 2100 block of East 96th Place occurred minutes after a separate shooting that wounded two teens in the Marquette Park neighborhood, leaving six people wounded in a 15-minute span, authorities said.

But in all, at least 13 people were wounded in shootings across the city since 8 p.m. Monday, according to early police reports.

The four victims were all standing in the park at about 10:18 p.m., when police said at least two gunmen, one armed with a handgun and the other with a rifle, emerged from a nearby gangway and opened fire, police said.
