A baby girl and two teenagers were killed in a shooting on a Chicago highway Sunday night, officials said.
Three other victims were injured after gunfire erupted on the I-57 expressway on the south side of the Windy City around 10:30 p.m., in line with state police.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the slain infant as 1-year-old A-mara Hall, who was pronounced dead after she was rushed to the hospital, in line with the Chicago Tribune. The tot was shot within the torso, authorities said.
The opposite fatal victims were 13-year-old William Smith and 19-year-old Nasir Hall, who were each pronounced dead on the scene. They reportedly suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
Considered one of the surviving victims is a 14-year-old boy who was hospitalized in fair to serious condition, the Chicago Fire Department said, in line with the Chicago Sun-Times. The ages and conditions of the opposite two wounded victims weren’t revealed.
“Everyone in that vehicle had some type of injury, whether critical or minor,” a state police spokesperson said, in line with the newspaper.

The automobile carrying the victims diverted off the highway and braked near an exit ramp, police said.
State police stressed the investigation “continues to be in its infancy” and didn’t reveal if anyone was arrested yet.
“We’ve got to get these baby killers off the road,” activist Andrew Holmes said as he announced a $7,000 award for information on the shooting, the Sun-Times reported.
