The footage of the driver escaping police after reportedly being involved in the shooting of an off-duty officer comes after at least 14 people, including three children, were injured in a drive-by shooting in Chicago on Halloween night.

According to WLS-TV at the time, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said three of the victims were children, including a three-year-old, an 11-year-old, and a teenager who was believed to be 13 years old.

The others wounded by gunfire were adults ranging in age from their 30s to their 50s. One person was struck by a car.
