Chicago shootings injured children inside two Burnside and West Woodlawn homes just minutes apart on the South Side Wednesday, CPD said.
Two young children were shot by stray bullets while inside their homes on Chicago's South Side Wednesday night.Both children were expected to be OK Thursday morning.CPD said that shooting happened near the 700-block of East 93rd Street just before 10 p.m. in Burnside.
Police believe the 3 year old was asleep in his bed when shots were fired from outside the home, injuring the child in his elbow. Just about 20 minutes before that shooting, an 8 year old boy was shot inside his West Woodlawn home near the 3600-block of South Rhodes Avenue.He was not taken to the hospital, but this continues the startling trend of minors shot in the city this year.
"I heard the shots from my house this time, and I would never have thought that a child would be on the bad end of those bullets. But right now Chicago is on the bad end of those bullets," Pastor Donovan Price said. Just a couple days ago, a 12 year old was critically hurt when he was shot in the head on the Near West Side.Copyright © 2022 WLS-TV. All Rights Reserved.
