A woman who was injured by bullet fragments and broken glass when shots were fired late Wednesday near Loyola University is sharing her story about that terrifying night.
“Thankfully I’m okay,” she said. “It’s kinda just like, still really weird to think about that—that happened to me.”
The 20-year-old victim, who decided to remain anonymous, said she had just parked her car and was walking home when gunfire erupted early Wednesday. Once she made it to her building, she heard someone revving their engine nearby, and then, a short time later came the gunshots. “Kinda shocking, actually, because I’ve been living at that apartment for months now and nothing like this has relatively come close to happening to me,” she said.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.
The victim said someone fired shots into her building as she was making her way up the stairs to her apartment. “I get to the third floor landing by the window in the hallway and I looked up,” she said. “I see a green laser coming through the window in the hallway.”Local
