CNN reports that the victims range in age from 16 to 48.

Police say two people are being questioned.

Fred Waller, chief of the Chicago Police Bureau of Patrol, told local reporters that police were examining three scenes.

He explained: "We had an incident where there was a party.

"Inside, there was a dispute, and shots were fired... several shots.

"People started to spill out, and as they spilled out more shots were fired... [and] more shots were fired at another location."
