A man was shot and two people were beaten during an armed robbery in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood after police said the group refused to hand over their belongings during the incident.
The robbery happened just before 11:30 p.m. Wednesday in the 600 block of Buckingham, according to police.
Two men and a woman were outside walking when a dark-colored sedan stopped near them and several men got out of the vehicle and approached them, police said.
The men, who were armed with handguns, demanded cellphones and wallets from the group, but the trio refused.
