ByLouis Casiano| Fox News

    Police say a deadly shootout just outside a funeral home on Chicago's South Side Tuesday night wounded at least 14 people, police said, in the latest chapter of violence gripping the city.

    Witness Arnita Gerder told WMAQ TV, "All we saw was just bodies laying everywhere,. Shot up everywhere, all over. Legs, stomach, back, all over the place. We thought it was a war out here."

    Police reports indicated a SUV was traveling on 79th Street around 7:30 p.m. when people inside opened fire on funeral attendees, the Chicago Police Department's First Deputy Supt. Eric Carter said during a news briefing.

    Funeral attendees exchanged gunfire with the vehicle, which sped off before crashing a short distance later. The people inside that vehicle ran off, Carter said.
