A Chicago shooting left a man seriously hurt at The Point on Milwaukee in Wicker Park, where 1 person was killed and 4 were wounded last year.
CHICAGO -- Four months after a mass shooting unfolded near the doorstep of a Wicker Park club, a 29-year-old man was seriously wounded early Sunday when a hail of gunfire erupted again and tore into the bar and music venue.
Officers ultimately responded to multiple calls of gunfire and found the victim bleeding on the floor of the club, according to an internal police report. The shooter was seen firing into the bar from across the street before running off, according to the report. The attack comes on the heels of a shootout Oct. 10 outside The Point that left one of four gunmen dead and wounded four bystanders, Cook County prosecutors said days later when another shooter was hit with multiple charges, including attempted murder.RELATED: Man critically hurt in Wicker Park shooting near Damen and Milwaukee, Chicago police say
First Ward Ald. Daniel La Spata said the proximity of the two shootings and other apparent connections are"really frustrating." Meanwhile, residents of the area who have grown increasingly vocal about crime continue to raise concerns.Sam Royko, son of Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper columnist Mike Royko, started the Greater West Town Community Coalition after his girlfriend was carjacked last year near Ashland Avenue and Division Street. The coalition is now focused on understanding the current rise in certain crimes and figuring out"what we can start doing about it," Royko said.
