The children were a 7-month-old boy, a 3-year-old girl and a 16-year-old girl, the Chicago Tribune reported. The fourth victim was an adult woman.

A suspect, believed to be a relative, was taken into custody several miles away about 90 minutes after the shootings, police said.

The two wounded people -- an adult female and an adult male -- were in critical condition at a local hospital, authorities said.

The shooting, which police said was possibly domestic-related, happened about 4:25 a.m. in a brick bungalow in the Marquette Park neighborhood on Chicago's southwest side.
