CHICAGO - Two people were killed and 16 others, including two teens, wounded in citywide gun violence Friday.

A SWAT team responded after a person was killed and two others were wounded in a shootout in Austin on the West Side.

People inside returned fire and hit one of the gunmen, police said. 

The person was transported to a hospital and was pronounced dead. 

Their name hasn’t been released. 

The other shooters jumped back into the cars and left, according to police.
