Retiree Wounded

Sounds like he was caught in the crossfire:

• A 74-year-old retired police sergeant was shot and badly injured after stepping out of his car in North Center on Monday morning, officials said. The gunman remains at large.

  The retiree stepped out of his maroon Jeep in the 2000 block of West Berteau, at the intersection with Lincoln Avenue, around 8:58 a.m., police said.

  Two people began shooting. One bullet struck the victim’s left arm and the other grazed his neck. Police said he was in critical condition.

One of the suspects has since been apprehended.

Hopefully, Sarge is on the way to recovery - gunshot wounds at any age are tough, but at seventy-four? Here's to hoping he's still in line for many more pension checks.
