Chicago police said a nine-year-old boy was found shot to death inside a home in the Washington Heights neighborhood Sunday.

Chicago police said the boy was shot and killed inside his home on the 9400-block of South Wallace Street just after 6:30 p.m.

Police said the boy was rushed to Comer Children's Hospital in critical condition after being shot multiple times. That's where police said he later died."It appears that he suffered from the gunshot wound while inside the residence," Chicago Police Commander Sean Joyce said. "There are multiple children and adults in the house. All of the people who were present at the time are currently being interviewed by our detectives.

It is not known if the shooting was intentional or accidental or if any arrests have been made by police. Police confirmed the shooting was not self-inflicted. It's unclear how many times the boy was shot."Get these guns out your homes! Get them out your homes," said crisis responder Andrew Holmes.

Seahawks-Rams scheduled for Sunday, but could Lions-Packers end up on ‘Sunday Night Football’?The NFL’s Week 18 schedule has not yet been revealed, but they did announce that the Kansas City Chiefs at Las Vegas Raiders and the AFC South title between the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville... SeahawkMike1 If the Bengals lose tomorrow night they will make Bengals vs Ravens the night game next week. It’ll be for the division. Thats why they’re waiting until tomorrow night to release the schedule No way in hell they would do this because the Lions have a chance if they win and the Hawks lose. But NOT if the Hawks win. So it could become a meaningless game. It would be a disaster for the Seahawks if this game is Sunday Night. If the Seahawks win the Lions don't have anything to play for and they could just let the Packers waltz into the playoffs! Plus it'll be colder for Goff at night :(
