A late night shooting on a basketball court has left several people wounded in Chicago, President Barack Obama's adopted hometown that has been struggling to stem gang violence, police said.
The Chicago Tribune newspaper reported that 12 people were shot in all, including a three-year old who one witness said was hit in the face, in the shooting on a basketball court at a South Side Chicago park.
A police dispatcher told AFP that "there were several people shot" in the incident at around 10:15 pm (0315 GMT Friday).
"Basically, there have been no fatalities reported and there is no one in custody at this time, the dispatcher said.
The Tribune said the wounded were being treated at area hospitals.
Three of the gunshot victims, including the child, were in serious-to-critical condition, the Chicago Fire Department told the Tribune.
