The drive-by shooting apparently happened as people left Artis Lounge nightclub following an album release party for rapper Mello Buckzz.

Four people were killed and 14 others wounded in a "deplorable and cowardly" mass shooting in Chicago on Wednesday night, according to the police superintendent.

Artis Lounge is at the same location as the former Hush nightclub that the city shut down more than two years deeming it a “public safety threat” following a fatal shooting outside. The boat was carrying 53 passengers and 12 crew when it sank while on its way to Bali from Java island.
