A 21-year-old woman was shot while walking her dog in the Uptown neighborhood Tuesday morning, Chicago police said.
The woman and her dog were on the sidewalk in the 1300-block of West Sunnyside Avenue at about 12:38 a.m. when police said someone inside of a silver SUV fired shots."I've lived in the city for 15 years. So, I know that there's always going to be violence," Uptown resident Maria Hugo said. "There's always going to be crime. I'm a nurse. I've seen it firsthand.
The woman was wounded in the leg and transported to Ascension St. Francis Hospital in fair condition. Her dog was not injured. "It's not that shocking," Uptown resident Matthew Ramirez said. "It's been little bit like that over the past few months and it's just part of life I guess."COPA releases bodycam video in deadly Chicago police shooting in Garfield Park"I can't really comment on what happens after midnight," Hugo said.
