CHICAGO (CBS) -- North Avenue Beach has been closed on Friday afternoon, after shots were fired just hours after the beach had opened to swimmers for the summer, sending visitors scrambling for cover.
CBS 2's Asal Rezaei was at North Avenue Beach, reporting on the opening of beaches along Chicago's lakefront for the Memorial Day weekend, when she and her photographer heard gunfire around 1:30 p.m., less than three hours after beaches were opened to swimmers for the summer season.
About 100 people were nearby at the time and started running away.
