Mass Shooting in Harvey Leaves 2 Dead, 7 Wounded Including Child

A mass shooting at a house party in Harvey, Illinois, on Saturday night left one person dead and seven others wounded, including a 4-year-old boy who suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The violence erupted when two individuals opened fire at the party; a licensed concealed carry holder at the scene returned fire, killing one of the attackers and injuring the other, who was subsequently hospitalized and taken into police custody. Authorities believe the attack was not random but part of a longstanding personal dispute between two groups. Early Sunday morning, a separate retaliatory shooting left another man dead, which police also linked to the ongoing feud. Officials, including Cook County Commissioner Kisha McCaskill, condemned the violence and called for community unity, while police assured the public that they know the individuals involved and are working to prevent further incidents. The investigations are ongoing, and community support events are being planned in response to the tragedies.
