AlQa'dah 14, 1434, Sep 20, 2013, SPA -- An overnight shooting that wounded 13 people, including a 3-year-old child, on Chicago's South Side was believed to be gang-related, Reuters cited police as saying on Friday. The Thursday night shooting came in the same week that a contract worker opened fire at the Washington Navy Yard and killed 12 people in the nation's capital. "I can tell you that it's an ongoing investigation and that 13 people were shot," Chicago Police Department spokeswoman Amina Greer said on Friday. No arrests have been made so far, Greer said. "At this time, we believe the motive for the shooting to be gang-related," she said. Gunfire rang out at about 10:15 p.m. Thursday (0315 GMT on Friday), Greer said. Mayor Rahm Emanuel canceled two cabinet meetings in Washington on opportunities for Chicago and was headed back to his city after being notified about the shooting, his press office said. "Senseless and brazen acts of violence have no place in Chicago and betray all that we stand for," Emanuel said in a statement. "The perpetrators of this crime will be brought to justice and prosecuted to the full extent of the law." -- SPA 20:14 LOCAL TIME 17:14 GMT تغريد
