A 40-year-old man is in good condition after someone shot him in a Rogers Park alley Saturday afternoon, police said.
He was on the 1300 block of West Morse when someone fired shots around 1:30 p.m., striking him in the right arm, according to a Chicago police media statement. Witnesses reported seeing a woman chasing after the man following the shooting. Police believe they have the woman’s name and investigators reportedly considered her to be the primary suspect.
The victim ran to a nearby home after being shot. He is being treated at St. Francis Hospital in Evanston.
