CHICAGO (WLS) -- A woman who survived a shooting spree that left five others dead is speaking exclusively with ABC 7 about her terrifying encounter with a killer.
The rampage unfolded last month across Chicago and Evanston. The suspect shot seven people - seemingly at random - before he was killed by police.
Virginia McAllister, 81, says it's a miracle she's alive. She said she started her day on January 9 - the day of the deadly shooting spree - talking to her pastor and his wife.
She said they gave her a blessing, and then she was off to buy a PowerBall ticket at a food mart nearby. She said she was about to leave the store when a gunman fired and a bullet hit her neck.
