An 18-year-old man was killed in a Sunday night mass shooting in the Washington Park neighborhood, according to Chicago police. Police said three others, including two teenagers, were injured.

Police said they responded to reports of a person shot in the 5700 block of South Payne Drive at about 8:16 p.m. They found multiple people shot outside when they arrived. Police said an unidentified man took out a gun and shot victims who were fleeing the scene on foot following an argument among several women.
