Chicago high school shooting leaves 2 dead

Two people were killed and two more were  injured Friday in a shooting outside a Chicago high school, police said. 

The shooting occurred around 2:30 p.m. outside the Benito Juárez Community Academy on the city’s lower west side as students were being dismissed for the day, the Chicago Police Department said.

“We are conducting a pretty aggressive investigation,” Chicago Police Supt. David Brown said. 

Authorities have not disclosed what led to the shooting.

A sophomore who only gave his last name, Nava, told the news outlet that he had been waiting in front of the school for his father to pick him up when he heard shots down the block.

“It was crazy,” Nava said outside the crime scene Friday evening. “I heard two shots and then everyone started running and went inside.”

Chicago Public Schools gave an “all clear” for students at the school about an hour after the shooting.
