Thirteen people are in hospital after being shot at a house party in Chicago, with four critically injured.

Police have recovered a revolver from the scene of the incident on the city’s South Side in the early hours of Sunday, and two people are being questioned.

The victims range in age between 16 and 48 and have suffered “different and various gunshot wounds to their bodies”, according to chief of patrol Fred Waller.

The youngest victim is one of those critically injured, but is said to be in a stable condition, and one of those being questioned was also taken to hospital with a gunshot wound.

Mr Waller said the shooting began due to a dispute in the house, located in a residential block on 57th and May Street near a park in Englewod, before continuing outside as people began spilling out.

He described it as an “isolated incident” and said it was not gang-related.

Four deaths and 11 injuries had already been reported as a result of shootings in Chicago this weekend before the house party incident took place.
