Chicago Police say they are still searching for the assailants who attacked "Empire" star Jussie Smollett early Tuesday morning in what Chief Communications Officer Anthony Guglielmi says they are investigating as a "possible hate crime."
Smollett went to Northwestern Memorial Hospital to have the cuts on his face and neck treated. He was described as being in good condition as of Tuesday night.
Fox, which had already suspended filming because of record cold temperatures in Chicago, told USA TODAY that "Empire" will begin shooting again on Thursday. The network has not indicated whether the attack on Smollett will cause further delay.
