Five people in Chicago were shot as spectators left a crowded high school basketball game in what police called a possibly gang-related attack that sent panicked students running into a snowy street on the city's South Side.

Five males - three in serious condition and two critical - were taken from Paul Laurence Dunbar Vocational Career Academy about 8pm.

"It was crazy. It was like killers on the loose," said 15-year-old student Joshua Glaze.

The game was in overtime and some spectators were leaving when a vehicle drove up and a person or people inside started shooting into the crowd.

No suspect has been identified or arrested, but the shooting was possibly gang-related, said police.

Two hundred officers were in the area looking for suspects.
