CHICAGO (WLS) -- Nine people were shot, two fatally, in a shooting outside a McDonald's on the Near North Side Thursday night in what Mayor Lori Lightfoot called an "outrageous act of violence."

Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said two groups of people were fighting in the area of the 800-block of North State Street at about 10:41 p.m. when someone in the crowd began firing shots.

The shooter then fled down to the CTA subway platform and members of the shooter's group fled with him, police said.

Police chased the suspect and arrested him in the subway station and a gun was recovered. Brown said they are working with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office on charges.

Paramedics rushed in to help and treated people right on the street. Many fights were breaking out at the time, with officers trying to break them up.

"We walked across the street to the store and next thing we know, people started shooting and everybody just got hit," Deonna Jackson, witness said. "My first instict was just run because I have been hit before."
