A seven-year-old Chicago girl was shot and killed Sunday while sitting in a McDonald’s drive-thru with her father, according to authorities and local reports.

Jaslyn Adams, and her 29-year-old father Jontae Adams, were sitting in the drive-thru of a McDonald’s lane when two people exited a gray car and began shooting at Adams’ car, an unidentified McDonald’s employee told the Chicago Sun-Times.

Roughly 30 shell casings were found near the vehicle after the shooting and some of the windows were completely shot out, according to CBS Chicago.

Video footage shot by a bystander shows police pulling Jaslyn out of the vehicle and rush her into an emergency vehicle. A bystander can be heard shouting “Oh shit, they killed a baby!”

The young girl was struck “multiple times” while the dad was struck in the torso, police said, according to Fox News.

Jontae was taken to the hospital as well and is expected to survive, according to CBS Chicago. (RELATED: Three Officers Injured, One Suspect Dead After Police Chase And Shooting In Georgia)

As of Sunday night no shooter or shooters have been identified and it is unclear if there was a motive, according to the report.

Jaslyn’s family remembered her as “lovable” while talking to CBS Chicago.

“She was just the sweet[est] and outgoing; really talkative; really lovable,” Jaslyn’s aunt Tawny McMullen reportedly said.

Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot called the incident “unthinkable” in a tweet late Sunday night.

“I am heartbroken and angered that a 7-year-old child was killed this afternoon on Chicago’s West Side. This unthinkable act of violence has no place here. The epidemic of gun violence cutting our children’s lives short cannot go on.”

Jaslyn’s death was one of many over the weekend. A Friday night shooting left an 18-year-old dead and a 44-year-old woman wounded, Fox 32 reported. A 25-year-old was shot and killed Saturday morning while he sat in his car with someone else and another car opened fire, according to the report.

The Daily Caller has reached out to the Chicago Police Department but did not receive a response at the time of publication.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
