A 15-year-old boy was also shot in the hand and grazed in the abdomen. The 19-year-old and 18-year-old were reportedly in critical condition when they were taken to Stroger Hospital, while the 15-year-old was said to be in good condition.

Their families reported they were undergoing surgery.

Police have not disclosed the circumstances of the shooting at this time, and no one is currently being held in custody.

ABC7 spoke with one of the victim's brothers, Thomas Kendall, who said that his brother, who is 18 years old, was out with his friends on the way to a Lil Durk concert at the United Center.

While en route, he claimed that a group on bicycles approached them. He said the group allegedly tried to mug his brother and his friends.

Kendall said that a struggle ensued and shots were fired.

The news comes after it was reported earlier this week that multiple electronic billboards were hacked across the city .

On Wednesday billboards just off the Edens Spur Tollroad in Northbrook displayed the messages "F--- ISRAEL," while another displayed the message, "DEATH TO ISRAEL."

Both billboards reportedly displayed the Palestinian flag in the background. The billboards were reported around 5.30 p.m. at the peak of commuter traffic, FOX 32 Chicago reported.

Congressman Brad Schneider said the timing and locations of the billboards was not a coincidence. "Where these signs are, it’s a community with a large Jewish population, and tonight is the beginning of the Jewish holiday Sukkot.

He added: "Whoever did this had an intentionality about it that was clearly antisemitic ."
