CHICAGO ? Authorities tell WGN that a father and his 7-year-old girl were shot Sunday in the city?s Homan Square neighborhood while sitting at a McDonald?s drive-thru. The girl did not survive.

The incident is believed to be targeted gang-related shooting.

According to police, the incident happened around 4:20 p.m. in the 3200 block of W. Roosevelt in Chicago?s Homan Square.

Chicago police put the wounded girl in a squad car and administered CPR while she was transported to Stroger, where she was pronounced dead. The father of the 7-year-old was transported by Chicago Fire paramedics to John H. Stroger Hospital.

WGN is learning more about the little girl, identified by family members as 7-year-old Jaslyn Adams. Family members say Jaslyn went to Cameron Elementary School and loved to dance and make Tik Tok videos.

She also loved McDonald?s.

Chicago police say the shooting is believed to be gang-related. The vehicle that was shot up had tinted windows. It?s possible the shooter(s) didn?t know a child was in the car.

Jaslyn was shot more than six times, according to community activist Andrew Holmes. He held a press conference shortly after the shooting, urging anyone with information to contact the authorites.

The child?s father, Janate Adams, is in stable condition. He is expected to be OK. While Jaslyn lived with her mother, she visited with her dad on occasions. The two would always go to McDonald?s to spend time together, the family said.

Jaslyn?s grandmother told WGN that her son called her after the shooting. ?They shot my baby,? he said.

Jaslyn, affectionately known as ?Pinky,? also had three siblings.

An earlier report stated the girl was 6-years-old per the Chicago Fire Department. Family members and police say the girl is 7-years-old. The story has been updated.

Okay, so wait. This states that a police vehicle was already at the scene. So how did these guys get away with this in broad daylight with police present?

That poor girl. She was just sitting in the car looking forward to her McDonald's and killed in cold blood.

Well, doesn't look good for him. He'll sing.

I had a non debate with idiots on FB who assumed within hours that the Dad was affiliated. With no other basis than he was Black and that these shootings aren't "Random".

Now, mind you, I'm not saying that this is one scenario that could be the case, but to jump to that conclusion instantly based on nothing but his race? Fuck that noise.

These same assholes shot at someone else in a Popeyes Drive Thru later this same day. My deductive reasoning would be that they were doing it for clout in their gang and were just targeting people in the Drive Thrus because it's easy and convenient for them.

We'll see.

Well to be fair, the article does say this:

The incident is believed to be targeted gang-related shooting

But, that doesn't mean the father was in a gang, it could be mistaken identity.
