An X post by Citizen claimed that police believe the “incident was a drive-by shooting involving multiple vehicles.” A user slammed Brandon Johnson in the comment section, saying, “Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is failing to keep Chicago safe and prosperous. He is making people actually miss Lori Lightfoot.HE SHOULD RESIGN IN SHAME FOR INCOMPETENCE!”
One X user said in a post, “Sounds like there are 12 gunshot victims in this incident which took place at a nightclub at 311 W Chicago. Some of those may have refused transport which accounts for the discrepancy. Early reports are that at least one person may have been killed.”
