A shooting at a Father’s Day celebration in Chicago, Illinois, left two victims dead and three others wounded Sunday evening, according to city officials.
Chicago Police said five victims were shot in the Roseland neighborhood near West 99th and South Princeton before they were transported to hospitals.
