Chicago shooting: St. Sabina Church suspends Sunday basketball games after nearby shooting leaves 3 injured, CPD releases photos
Chicago police are looking to identify two people and a vehicle in relation to the shooting near Saint Sabina Church.
The shooting happened on Sunday around 4:11 p.m. in the 1200 block of West 78th Place in Auburn Gresham, Chicago police said.
Father Michael Pfleger said there was an argument during a basketball game that escalated to three people being shot.
Father Pfleger said the weekend shooting was captured on video and has since been turned over to Chicago police to help with their investigation.
On Tuesday, police released photos from the surveillance footage in hopes to identify two men and a vehicle related to the shooting.
Chicago police did not say how the people in the photos are related to the shooting.
The vehicle was described as a dark in color Mazda SUV.
For now, Sunday men's basketball games at Saint Sabina Church are suspended.

Saint Sabina Church hopes this leads to an arrest soon.
"The reality is, three people were shot and it happened outside of our buildings and I take that very personal," Fr. Pfleger said. "People know what we stand for here. We know how to feel about guns, about violence. And they disrespected, not just Sabina, but they violated a community that has worked really hard. Residents and police worked really hard to be safe around here."
Father Pfleger said for their youth leagues they pat down and search bags before people come into the gym and they may have to rethink and start doing it for their adult leagues too.
Anyone with information is urged to contact police.
