Five people were shot, two fatally, in what police called a "targeted" home invasion Monday afternoon in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, authorities said.
The shooting was reported at around 1:45 p.m. in the 2900 block of East 78th Street, according to law enforcement. One of the victims who was shot managed to escape the residence and went to a nearby business for help, said Chicago Police Department Deputy Chief Sean Loughran.
When police arrived at the home, they found two people who had been fatally shot. Two others, along with the person who ran for help, were all taken to an area hospital in critical condition.
Police continued to search for those responsible Monday afternoon.
