A 39-year-old Chicago man was shot while walking to a synagogue over the weekend in the predominately Jewish neighborhood of West Ridge.
A Chicago man walking to a synagogue in a known Orthodox Jewish neighborhood was shot over the weekend by a suspect who then fired at responding officers and paramedics, officials said. The attack targeting the 39-year-old male victim unfolded Saturday morning in Chicago’s West Rogers Park neighborhood.
What officials did confirm was that the victim was shot in the shoulder. Silverstein said in a statement Saturday that 'the victim is in stable condition and is recovering at home,' and that she visited him. Silverstein noted that 'the shooting happened on Shabbat following the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah.' Snelling also noted that while no officers or paramedics were hit by gunfire during the shootout, an ambulance was hit.
