CHICAGO — A shooting in the Brainerd neighborhood set off a chain reaction that ended with a woman shot in the hand and crash involving a CTA bus.

The incident occurred in the 800 block of West 95th Street about 4:20 Sunday afternoon. A 20-year-old woman was riding in a vehicle when someone shot into the vehicle, strking her in the hand, said Sgt. Bob Kane, a police spokesman.

The driver of the vehicle exited, and the woman took the wheel. She drove away, attempting to flee the scene, and struck a CTA bus and another vehicle, Kane said.
