That’s the kind of frightening awakening an innocent woman experienced when she was inside her own bedroom in the city’s West Side neighborhood.
WGN reported on the woman, who remained unidentified, as she called 911 to be immediately taken to a hospital. The report stated that just before midnight, in the middle of sleeping, a stray bullet pierced through her bedroom and hit her in the head.
The incident occurred on the 2100 block of West Washington. The woman stated she did manage to be awakened by the sound of the shot, but that immediately after she felt a pain, it all came together.
According to police, she was taken to the hospital and is said to be in good condition. The shooter has not been found, investigators are trying to see who else in the area might have been shot. No one is in custody.
