Tracking Summer Shootings In ChicagoThe McDonald's restaurant, commonly known as the "Rock 'n' Roll McDonald's," because of its musical themed decor, is located at 600 N. Clark St., at that intersection. It is open for business 24 hours a day.
The two victims were in the same vehicle and after they were shot drove themselves to Stroger Hospital of Cook County, according to Near North District police Sgt. Tim Bridges.
The two victims -- a 25-year-old man and a 30-year-old man -- were both shot multiple times, according to police News Affairs. The 25-year-old was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital and the 30-year-old was in critical condition at Stroger as of about 8:30 a.m., police said.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed the death, but did not have an ID or pronouncement time for the man Monday morning.
Police did not have many details on the shooting early Monday, but Bridges said several cars appear to have been involved. The victims were apparently in one vehicle, the shooters were in another and additional vehicles may also have been involved.
Police were alerted to the shooting after they received several 911 calls, Bridges said.
Belmont Area detectives are investigating.
