Mother, 3 daughters in their 20s killed in Tinley Park shooting, village officials say
A mother and her three daughters were killed Sunday morning in a domestic-related shooting at a house in Tinley Park, village officials said.
The shooting happened in the 7400 block of 173rd Place at around 11:20 a.m. Police were notified when a man at the residence called 911. The victims were pronounced dead at the scene at 11:36 a.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
The medical examiner identified the women as Majeda Kassem, 53, Halema Kassem, 25, Zahia Kassem, 25, and Hanan Kassem, 24.
The scene is secure and a male suspect is in custody, according to a statement from the Public Safety Department. The suspect was at the house when police arrived, said Village Manager Pat Carr. He also said a gun was recovered at the scene.
“Due to ongoing investigation, we are asking residents to stay out of the area,” the statement said.
This is the deadliest shooting in the village since 2008, when five women were slain inside a Lane Bryant store, according to Carr. The case remains unsolved.
“This stirs a lot of emotions for people,” Carr said.
