Two people were killed and eight others were injured in a shooting in downtown Chicago late Thursday night, according to Chicago police.

The shooting happened around 10:40 p.m. local time in the 800 block of North State Street, according to Chicago police spokesman Tom Ahern.

That location is just a few blocks from Michigan Avenue and the city's premiere shopping district known as the Magnificent Mile.

Police said a suspect is in custody and a gun was recovered. Police did not give an update on the other victim's conditions.

Video from Fox 32 Chicago showed that a McDonald's restaurant sustained heavy damage with multiple windows shot out.

"There's blood from this end to this end," community activist Andrew Holmes told Fox 32. "But there's plenty of cameras here."

He said police should be able to get to the bottom of exactly what led to the chaotic shooting with the help of footage captured by multiple cameras in the area.

Thursday night's shooting comes just about a week after a 16-year-old boy was shot and killed near Chicago's iconic "Bean" sculpture in Millennium Park. A 17-year-old boy has been charged with murder in the shooting. Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot has since imposed a curfew for minors in the city as violence continues to escalate.

It's not even the weekend yet :shock:

I am confident that the MSM will give this the same amount of coverage as they are the shooting that happened in Buffalo this past weekend :thumbsup:

Because that gun control in Chicago works so well.

People start paying attention when it leaves the ghetto. As sad as that sounds.
