CHICAGO (AP) – An 8-year-old girl was killed and two adults were severely wounded after they were shot Monday evening in Chicago while traveling in a vehicle on the city’s South Side.
Chicago Police Chief of Operations Brian McDermott says the shooting occurred shortly before 6 p.m. in the Canaryville neighborhood.
Police said the girl was with her mother and two other adults in a Subaru SUV at a red light when someone in a Dodge Charger opened fire, striking the child, a 31-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman.
