All the victims were alive when transported to various hospitals, deputy fire chief James Mungovan said.
Four of the victims are in critical condition, CNN affiliate WLS-TV reported .
The shooting occurred in Cornell Square Park, where police taped off an outdoor basketball court.
No suspects were in custody late Thursday. A police spokesman said investigators believe the shooting was gang-related.
Gun violence in Chicago was spotlighted in a February speech there by President Barack Obama. The president, whose home is in the city, spoke about the shooting death of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton just a week after she attended his inauguration ceremony in January.
