<p>An end of the year of the year school picnic in Chicago turned into a nightmare when a black van rolled up and started firing shots!</p>
<p>According to Chicago Sun Times, students at Warren Elementary school were making water balloons for a huge water fight when all hell broke loose. </p>
<p>&#8220;The kids were running around the playground with water balloons,&#8221; 8th grader Khia Shanks said. &#8220;I went outside and saw a black van drive by and someone fired about five shots.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I ran inside. I was in shock,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>According to police, two of her fellow classmates, ages 7 and 13, were hit.</p>
<p>Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Merritt said that their injuries aren&#8217;t life-threatening. The younger girl was shot in the thigh while the older one was shot in the hand. </p>
<p>&#8220;This makes me sick that kids are having an end-of-the-year picnic and they have to get shot at,&#8221; Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson said.</p>
<p>Police said that the students weren&#8217;t the intended targets. There were several former students who weren&#8217;t supposed to be at picnic and tried to get in but were turned away by security officers.</p>
<p>Those students apparently stood on a nearby corner and that&#8217;s when the black vehicle pulled on them and started shooting. They ended up running back into the picnic &#8220;drawing fire into the picnic.&#8221;</p>
<p>Police have three &#8220;persons of interest&#8221; in custody. </p>
