The shooting happened about 5 p.m. in the 8700 block of South King Drive, according to police.



The victims, all believed to be in their 20s, were in a car in a parking lot when a gunman emerged from an alley on foot and shot into the vehicle, police said.













A man and a woman died in the car. Another man was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he died, authorities said.


As police investigated the scene, two women collapsed into tears about half a block away.



"Would you relax if one of your children just got murdered?" one of the women screamed at the officers.



"Oh, it hurts so bad!" she said, sobbing. "It hurts so deep."



Tension increased as more people arrived, some bursting into tears. One man in a crowd attempted to punch another man while onlookers pleaded for them to stop quarreling. Police wrestled the first man to ground and led him away in handcuffs.



Terry Taylor, 48, said he was traveling on King Drive when he heard eight or nine shots.



"It was chaos," Taylor said. "I didn't know where the bullets were coming from."



Police said the gunman fled on foot, but may have had a getaway vehicle nearby.
