Excerpts from nbcchicago.com:

A fire in a South Shore residential building early Saturday morning left one person dead and four others injured, including two young children.

The blaze broke out at a multi-story residential building shortly after 3 a.m. in the 2400 block of East 78th Street.

According to police, a 24-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene, while four others were injured in the fire.

A 27-year-old man was taken to Trinity Hospital with an injury unrelated to the fire.

A 24-year-old woman was taken to University of Chicago Hospital in good condition.

A 2-year-old boy was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital in good condition.

A 7-year-old boy was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital in critical condition.

23 people were displaced by the fire.

Cell phone video from overnight captured the intense flames and smoke coming from the top floor of the three-story building, with residents desperately trying to make their way out.

The cause of the fire is currently unknown and under investigation.
