CHICAGO — A 64-year-old woman had just gone to bed early Friday in her Rogers Park apartment when a stray bullet crashed through her window and struck her in the arm, police and family members said.
A 42-year-old man was also hit in the shooting, police said.
At 12:40 a.m., the man was standing in an alley in the 1600 block of West Jonquil Terrace when someone walked up to him, took out a gun and fired shots, police said. The man ran away while the attacker continued to shoot, and a bullet went through an apartment window and hit the woman inside her home.
The woman had just gone to bed when she was hit, her relatives said.
"She was on her bed and she was leaning on her right arm and she heard the shooting and next thing you know she said her arm went numb and blood just started coming out everywhere," her daughter told WGN News.
She was taken to St. Francis hospital but was back home recovering later Friday, family said.
The man was hit in his back and twice in his buttocks and also taken to St. Francis Hospital, where his condition was not available but he were listed as "stable," police said.
A person was in custody and charges were pending, police said. A gun was found.
The block has seen several shootings in the past, including in 2015 when a man was shot just steps from the Gale Elementary's community garden.
