Seven of the eight people shot inside a Chicago home early Tuesday morning were struck in the head, police said Wednesday, according to reports.
A manhunt continued for at least one suspect in the attack, which left three young mothers and one man dead and four other people wounded, the reports said.
Relatives and neighbors said they were shocked by the attack.
"Those people in that home didn’t deserve that," Robyn Eddmonds, who knew some of the victims, told the Chicago Sun-Times. "That was a cruel person that did that. They didn’t have any morals."
CHICAGO SHOOTING VICTIMS INCLUDE 3 MOTHERS, 1 WHO WAS SET TO GRADUATE
The gunfire happened around 5:40 a.m. after someone broke into the home and started shooting. The Chicago Tribune reported that police were searching for two suspects, but police spokesman Steve Rusanov could not confirm that information when questioned by Chicago's FOX 32.
