    All the victims were adults, according to Carter. The official also stated that 14 victims were taken to five hospitals and 60 shell casings were found.
    Witnesses say they were inside the funeral home when the shots were fired.

    “We went out in the street and all we saw was bodies just laying everywhere. They were shot up everywhere.

    “We thought it was a war out here. It’s ridiculous all the shooting that’s going on out here, it really has to stop.”
    The suspect arrested by police was uninjured and it is still unclear how many attackers were involved. 

    The shooting comes a day after president Donald Trump ordered 175 federal agents into Chicago to disperse Black Lives Matter protests that have turned violent in recent days.
