14-year-old Chicago girl shot in the head after being asked if she's in a gang
On Wednesday, a 14-year-old Chicago girl who was walking her dog with her boyfriend was approached by two suspects who asked if she was in a gang. The suspects then shot her in the head and ran away.
The incident occurred in the 1700 block of West 48th Street at about 6:09 p.m. in the Back of the Yards neighborhood.
Officials say surveillance video shows the 14-year-old had just left a corner store with her boyfriend when two unknown suspects walked up to them. The teen girl was then asked if she was in a gang, according to 15th Ward Alderman Raymond Lopez.
