Suspects were being questioned in one of the shootings, the killing of a man near his home on the Far South Side. The worst shooting occurred around 6pm when two men in hooded sweatshirts opened fire inside a convenience store in the Gresham neighborhood, police said. One man was killed and five others were wounded. The victims ranged in age from 16 to 24. The gunmen fled in an SUV and police continued searching for them this morning. About four hours later, four people were standing in a parking lot on West Roosevelt Road when a black car drove up and gunfire rang out.
