A gang-related shooting in Chicago's South Side resulted in the death of an 8-year-old girl and injuries to 10 others.

The shooting occurred during a family gathering when a black sedan drove by and opened fire.

Two young boys were among the injured victims of the incident.

Chicago Police have yet to apprehend the suspects responsible for the shooting, with investigations continuing.

Deputy Chief Don Jerome highlighted the devastating effect of the violence on children and criticized the actions of the shooters.

Gun deaths among children and teenagers in the US have escalated to the point where they are the leading cause of death in this age group.

The incident has raised public outrage and increased concern over the safety of communities due to persistent gun violence issues.
