2 killed, 8 wounded in mass shooting outside a Chicago McDonald's - CBS News

A suspect is in custody after two people were killed and eight others wounded in a mass shooting in downtown Chicago late Thursday night.

Police confirmed to CBS Chicago that a suspect was in custody and a handgun was recovered at the scene.

"I literally just got home, I walked into my apartment's lobby and I saw two girls running in," one witness told CBS Chicago.

The gunfire was the latest in a surge in deadly violence in Chicago in recent years and came in the wake of a fatal shooting last weekend in downtown Chicago's Millennium Park that left a teen dead and prompted the  city to tighten a curfew for young people
