Chicago: At least five people have been shot as spectators left a crowded basketball game at a Chicago high school.
Chicago Fire Department spokeswoman Eve Rodriguez said five males - three in serious condition and two in critical - were taken from Paul Laurence Dunbar Vocational Career Academy.
Student Shaneisha Turman said she saw a silver truck pull up at a bus stop outside the school. People inside the truck pretended to fire a gun and then "they really started shooting," she said.
Police have blocked access to streets around the high school, and several ambulances and police cars are at the scene.
