Facebook live stream captures moment a Chicago man films himself being shot
This is the incredible moment a man live-streams himself on Facebook being gunned down on the street in Chicago.
In the video the unidentified man stands outside a closed convenience store he says is about to be opened for him to hide in, at the intersection of 56th Street and Hoyne Avenue.

The man wearing a White Sox baseball cap jokes that it needs to open to give him `somewhere to duck and hide for cover` in the West Englewood neighbourhood.



He spins around capturing his surroundings including another man taking a drink and someone coming out of the store.

Loud gunshots are then heard as the man drops his phone on the pavement after being struck by a flurry of bullets.

The mobile amazingly captures the gunman race into view firing at least 16 shots as the man tries to escape.

After a brief pause a person out of sight is heard saying he will take the victim to hospital as a woman screams in terror.

A Chicago Police spokesperson told The New York Daily News that a 31-year-old man was shot at the same intersection at 4.48pm on Thursday March 31.

The man suffered multiple gunshot wounds and is in a critical condition in Mount Sinai Hospital. His shooter fled in a car.
