At least six people were shot after a funeral service in the Burnside neighborhood on the South Side Monday afternoon, authorities said.
The shooting happened around 12:20 p.m. in the 9200 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a tweet.
One male was critically injured when he was shot in the head, Chicago Police Sgt. Rocco Alioto said. Five other adults wounded in the shooting were stabilized at area hospitals.
“Early reports indicate the shooting allegedly occurred . . .as the services ended and people were getting in their cars,” he said.
Police arrived to a “chaotic scene” with shell casings spanning two blocks, Alioto said. No one was in custody in connection with the shooting.
Four people were treated at the University of Chicago Medical Center, including the male who was in critical condition. His age was unknown. Also treated there were a 25-year-old man was shot in the arm, a 27-year-old woman shot in the leg and lower body and a 23-year-old man shot in the leg.
A 23-year-old man was stabilized at Advocate Trinity Hospital, and an 18-year-old man was stabilized at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
The shooting appears to have happened outside of Bethlehem Star Missionary Baptist Church.
Bernie Jordan, 60, was on his way home from visiting his sister Monday morning. He got off the bus between Cottage Grove Avenue and 92 Street when he said he saw a man jump out of a black car with a large gun with a “long, tall straight clip” attached. Two “boys with big ass guns started shooting,” he said.

A march on the highway will stop it
Looks like Rahm and Barry need to get on the case and solve this problem now. Where are those guys when you need them?
What's needed up there is Black leadership - and Barry and Rahm sure don't fit that slot.
Another lovely day in the neighborhood.
