CHICAGO - At least 8 people were wounded in an exchange of gunfire in River North Sunday morning, according to Chicago police.
Chicago fire officials initially found three people shot when they responded to West Erie and North Franklin streets around 2:40 a.m.
Police say a group of people were fighting outside Blum Restaurant & Bar in the 300 block of West Erie Street when the shooting began.
"My fiancé and I woke up to 30 gunshots or so," said River North resident Brendan Hill.
Surveillance video from a nearby restaurant shows the gunman walk up and unload at least ten bullets into a crowd. The shooter then walks away.
Hill said when he and his fiancé have kids they’ll be moving out to the suburbs.
"We don’t want our kids to have exposure to things like this," said Hill.
