Police say that a shooting on Chicago’s West Side early Sunday morning left one dead and six others injured. Deputy Chief Adnardo Gutierrez of the Chicago Police Department said that the victims were at a memorial celebrating the life of a man killed in a car accident four years ago when an argument began and shots rang out at about 1 a.m.

The deceased, a 25-year-old female, was found unresponsive on the ground after suffering multiple gunshot wounds. She was rushed to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. A 29-year-old man was taken to the hospital in critical condition after suffering gunshot wounds to the chest and arm.

The other injured victims included a 17-year-old girl who suffered a gunshot wound to the leg; a 27-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the leg, a 29-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the arm, a 28-year-old woman with a gunshot wound to the ear; and a 28-year-old man with gunshot wounds to the leg and arm. All were taken to the hospital in good condition.

Chicago police said that no arrests have been made; and Chief Gutierrez said that authorities are unsure how many people opened fire, but are continuing to investigate the area for possible video evidence and witnesses.

Benedict Cumberbatch’s home attacked by former chef wielding a knife

Benedict Cumberbatch’s London home was attacked and property was damaged by a former chef, Jack Bissell, wielding a fish knife while the actor, his wife Sophie Hunter and their three children were home at the time. A British court heard the case on May 10th involving Bissell, who was charged with kicking through the front garden gate of Cumberbatch’s home, pulling up a plant and throwing it at a garden wall, then spitting at the intercom and tearing it loose with a fish knife.

BBC News reported that Bissell pleaded guilty to criminal damage at the home located at Wood Green Crown Court on May 10th. The 35-year-old Bissell was fined £250, and given a three-year restraining order preventing him from going near Cumberbatch’s family and their residential area. It is not clear why Bissell targeted Cumberbatch and he offered no defense in court. Bissell has a previous conviction for theft, and in 2015 he was photographed being arrested during protests against military intervention in Syria in central London.
