Crime Still Down

Meanwhile, another passerby (tourist? day tripper?) manages to catch a round with her leg just off the Mag Mile:

• A woman was shot while walking at one of the busiest intersections along the Magnificent Mile on Monday evening, the unintended victim of a gunman who was trying to shoot someone else nearby, Chicago police said.

  The shooting happened around 9:27 p.m. in the first block of East Chicago Avenue, just west of Michigan Avenue, and set off a chain of events that left a man’s car riddled with bullets and caused a three-car collision along one of the city’s most heavily trafficked commercial strips.

  Police said a 22-year-old man was driving a red sedan when someone in a white sedan pulled up and opened fire on his vehicle. The red sedan was struck multiple times, but the driver was not injured.

  But a 25-year-old woman walking nearby was not as lucky. A bullet struck her in the left thigh, CPD said. She was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in fair condition.

Maybe Conehead can start a "Tour Chicago Emergency Rooms" type of tour?
