The 16-year-old was standing with other people in a playlot in Brainerd Park, in the 1200 block of West 92nd Street, around 11 p.m. Saturday, when two males approached from an alley firing shots, hitting her in the arm. She was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in stable condition.
