Police are searching for a man after his girlfriend was shot early Thursday in south suburban Country Club Hills, authorities confirmed.
Officers responded to shots fired in the 1100 block of Williamsburg Road at approximately 4 a.m., according to a statement from the Country Club Hills Police Department.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers found a woman who had sustained several gunshot wounds, police said. She was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center and underwent surgery, according to police. Her condition was unknown.
Police were searching for the woman's boyfriend, 34-year-old Robert Donald, as a person of interest in the shooting.
