The stabbing happened at Jamaica Jerk Choice in Oak Forest, police said. Officers responded around 2 p.m. to the restaurant at 6064 W. 159th St. and found several people with stab wounds.

People living nearby say they've never seen something this violent happen there.

"To be honest, it kinda nerves me," resident Alex Soto said. "My sister comes here... my mom comes here, and to know stuff like that can happen to anybody, I just hope it doesn't happen to my family or anybody else it's very unfortunate."
