A 17-year-old teen from Chicago was presumed dead after a shooting early Monday. A paramedic had even covered him with a sheet — but he was still alive and breathing. The Chicago Fire Department is now investigating for potentially "grossly negligent" behavior.
A deadly shooting erupted in Chicago's Near West Side neighborhood around 4:50 a.m. Monday morning, injuring four victims and ultimately killing two.
