Chicago police said five people were shot, four killed, at an apartment building on the city’s Northwest Side. The Chicago Sun-Times reports the shooting happened around 5:30 pm on Saturday. First Deputy Superinten­dent Anthony Riccio said a 67-year-old man with a history of conflicts with his neighbors is in custody. Riccio said the man first went into an apartment and shot three men and a woman as they ate dinner. The man then went to a separate unit in the building and shot another woman. Police said one victim is in critical condition. A weapon was recovered. Riccio said the man had a history of complaints from other residents but investigat­ors “don’t know what set him off”. Police said the victims were all adults, though their names have not been released. Mayor Lori Lightfoot called the shooting “devastatin­g”. An investigat­ion is ongoing. such an incident. The Japanese Coast Guard said last week it had rescued about 60 DPRK crew members from the boat. In a statement released by the official Korean Central News Agency, a DPRK Foreign Ministry spokespers­on said a patrol ship of the Japanese Fisheries Agency “committed a gangster act” of sinking the DPRK ship, which was on a normal mission in the waters of the East Sea of Korea. The statement said the Japanese side cannot evade its responsibi­lity for this incident. “If such an incident occurs again, Japan will face an undesirabl­e consequenc­e,” it said.
