Elderly Casualty
- A 37-year- man and an 84-year-old woman were injured in shootings Saturday on the West Side, Chicago police said.
Police released updated information after initially saying an 84-year-old woman was shot in the face Saturday afternoon.
About 12:45 p.m., police were called to the 1500 block of South Homan Avenue in Lawndale on the city's West Side. At first, officers reported finding the woman suffering from a graze wound to her face, according to a media notification. In an update, it later was determined that she wasn't shot, but that a bullet instead likely shattered a window, which sent glass into the woman's face, cutting it.
The shooter was in a black SUV but exited the vehicle before opening fire, aiming toward another vehicle in the same block, police said.
The woman was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she was listed in good condition, according to authorities.
How many elderly have been caught in the crossfire this year?

That black SUV has been causing trouble in
Chicago for a long time now......
Strange, no one can locate it......
Glad it was "only" glass. I wish her a speedy recovery.
Too many elderly. Still alive at almost eighty five on the west side. There should be an award.
"How many elderly have been caught in the crossfire this year?"
Or innocent kids for that matter. (Another 3 y.o. this week)
Hopefully Ferguson will fire off another letter blaming the "rudderless" CPD
He also needs to include the 3 year old shot on 60th.
These guys need shooting lessons.
See, a person got capped in Lake Forest last night at a Halloween party. White people do it too.
Black SUV is Chicago speak for
they all look the same to me
It's a generic term for vehicle confusion
and inability of police to coax a reasonable response
It's the mythical vehicle involved in all crimes
especially at night
Almost everyone has heard of one
but few people have seen one up close
There's no hidden racial meaning here
to most people Japanese cars haven't changed
in twenty years
Things get worse and things get better but it
never helps when respondents have had a few beers
It really is amazing how far liberal democrats will let their voters go when inflicting harm upon other people.

within 24 hours a 3 year old was shot in the back in the Washington Park neighborhood!
The problem. Elderly and children are shot and/or injured by thugs.
Allow gangs to fight it out. Give them fully-loaded weapons, relocate to an isolated area, then let them shoot it out.
Return a month or two later to collect remains.
010 has been in the forefront of Special Ed's crime reduction strategy since he was first appointed from a pool of a dozen superintendent candidates.
The Right Man for the Right Time™ is sick'n tarred beyond last nerve being overworked and he's yet to be deterred from his mission.
Time to lead the charge to clean up the crime...Send in the Camel Commander, 010 needs positive community representative leadership for Change.
Just another example of acceptable collateral damage in fine sanctuary city.
Build a wall around most violent areas. Walk away and let the best men win then execute any survivors. Herd thinning is good from time to time.
Once again calling for weapons training in grade school. They need to be better shots as they are wasting a lot of ammo and not finding intended targets. City needs more effective gang shootings.

See you have no knowledge of what you talk about. The victim was not white, nor a resident of Lake Forest. His pic is in the paper this morning.
