WEST PULLMAN —  A 19-year-old woman was killed and a 23-year-old man was injured in shootings in the West Pullman neighborhood Monday, police said.

The shootings occurred at 12:37 p.m. in the 11700 block of South Eggleston Avenue on the Far South Side, said Officer Daniel O'Brien, a Chicago Police spokesman.

A 19-year-old woman was shot in the head and taken to Roseland Hospital where she was pronounced dead, O'Brien said.

The woman was later identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner as Natasha Green, of the 11700 block of S. Normal.

The man was shot in the leg and is in "stable condition," O'Brien said.

The shooting was not far from a Safe Passage route, although Chicago Public Schools are closed for winter break.
