A 6-year-old girl was shot and seriously wounded Sunday night in West Englewood on the South Side.
She was outside about 8:40 p.m. while two people were fighting in the 5600 block of South Bishop when one of them pulled out a gun and opened fire, according to Chicago Police.
A bullet struck her leg and she was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital in serious condition. She wasn’t the intended target, police said.
The shooter took off in a white SUV, police said.
Minutes later, a 7-year-old boy was wounded in a Northwest Side shooting.
The 7-year-old boy was shot along with a 19-year-old man in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood on the Northwest Side.
About 8:45 p.m., they were in a car in the 2500 block of North Parkside when another vehicle pulled up and someone inside opened fire, according to Chicago Police.
