Mercy is located in Bronzeville near the intersection of 25th and Michigan Avenue and has one of the nation's largest number of patients in any hospital.
An eyewitness says that he saw a man arguing with a woman inside the facility after 3:00 PM when he pulled out a gun and opened fire on the woman, critically injuring her.
"Once he entered he just started shooting at random," James Gray said. "It looked like he was turning and pointing at people at random.”
Unconfirmed reports suggest the man was a White male, carrying an assault rifle, which seems highly unlikely with<a href="https://thegoldwater.com/news/11888-It-s-Time-to-Have-a-Serious-Talk-About-Black-Crime"> Chicago's black on the black crime rate.</a>

this article is wrong the gunman had a 9mm pistol. no "assault" rilfe. get it right
4 people dead. Shooter Juan Lopez dead. Shooter's fiance Dr. Tamara O'neal dead. Police officer dead.
Mexicant with a pistola shoots his woman and the cop that tried stopping him while incidentally hitting a bystander or two… sounds like a white dude with an ar15 on a shooting spree. For goodness sake please try to limit the headline to protect our 2nd! Here’s a good headline. Crazy imbecile shoots innocent people at inner city hospital - 3 dead including imbecile 1 wounded
Note the Name and Caliber of Firearm are never mention in this write up . So me being me dug for additional Info.
——-→ IRONY ←—— at its best….
According to even CNN , — the gunman had a HANDGUN, …. yes I said CNN
ABC Ch7 (Chicago) agrees and shows a Pic of a weapon with a empty round stove piped in a what looks to be a S&W 9mm.
.
We get enough bad press with the constant mis-application of "Assault Weapon"
please up date the headline and article.

We firearm owners get enough bad press with the constant mis-application of "Assault Weapon" could you please up date the headline and article?
The article says he had an "assault rifle" but it's a safe bet he did NOT have an assault rifle. At most he might have had an AR-15 which is not an assault rifle. The media have been trying like hell to meme ARs into being assault rifles.
The fact that he was able to conceal his firearm would also argue against it being an AR. It may have just been a pistol. If so then this is a serious escalation of the lying media's campaign to demonize firearms.
