Local authorities investigating the December 31 shootings of six gay men inChicago at what some described as a "gay house"have new leads that suggest it was not a hate crime but the result of a "personal feud or rivalry."One of those new leads is a cell phone photo or video that has detectives searching for a "person of interest," Advocate.com has learned exclusively."Someone didn't like someone else," one city official close to the investigation told Advocate.com. "To settle the score, one young man left the party and returned with one or more friends and guns." Six men were wounded after masked gunmen reportedly broke into a house party and opened gunfire on a crowd of up to a hundred men on the morning of December 31. Police initially suspected a bias motive because the home was known throughout the south side neighborhood as "the gay house" because of the frequent parties and its visitors.
