2 Shot in KFC Drive-Thru on Chicago’s West Side

One of two people shot outside a Kentucky Fried Chicken in Chicago walked into the restaurant without realizing he’d been shot, witnesses said.

Two people were shot in the drive-thru of the restaurant near Western Ave and Roosevelt Rd in the city's Lawndale neighborhood just after 1 p.m. on Thursday, according to police.

A 24-year-old man was shot in the collar bone and thigh and a 26-year-old man was shot in the stomach and forearm, police said. The victims were inside a car when offenders approached on foot, fired shots, then fled in a vehicle.

According to witnesses, roughly a dozen people were inside the fast food restaurant when the shooting happened. One witness said a bullet hit the a window in the building, leaving bullet holes in the glass.

"I was inside. I literally walked inside 2 seconds, maybe five footsteps before it happened,” said Jaleel Starks, 25. “If I would've bent down to pick up a pen, my phone dropped, I probably would've been shot in the back."

Starks, a student at the Art Institute of Chicago who was on his way to a dentist appointment when he stopped at the restaurant, said one of the victims then walked into the eatery bleeding.

“The KFC employees ran to the back and the young man walked in bleeding then we said, ‘You're shot.’ And he didn't know he was shot,” Starks said.
