Two young children were among six victims who were shot Saturday outside a baby shower in Chicago, police said.
The shooting erupted when two men in dark clothing approached the gathering and "opened fire," said Anthony Guglielmi, the department's chief communications officer.The girl was wounded in the shin, while the boy was struck in the chest and back, police said. They were rushed to local hospitals and are both in critical but stable condition, Guglielmi said.
"Our prayers are with the two young children that were injured yesterday," he said in an email to ABC News.The other victims range in age from 23 to 42 years old. Three of the victims are stable, but one -- a 29-year-old woman who was shot in the chest and shoulder -- was in critical condition, police said.Detectives believe the shooting was payback for an earlier incident, Guglielmi said.
"We suspect this could have been a possible retaliatory shooting from an earlier incident that stemmed from an ongoing gang conflict in that neighborhood," he said.Some potential witnesses to the shooting, however, were not cooperating with police, he added.ABC News' Benjamin Stein contributed to this report.
