A 36-year-old man is in good condition after being shot in the South Loop this morning. No arrests have been made.
The victim and his girlfriend told police the incident began near Roosevelt and Racine when a blue Dodge Charger started to follow them as they rode their bikes, according to a report. A masked man inside the car fired at them in the 100 block of West Roosevelt, across from the Target store, around 6:15 a.m.
A bullet struck the man in his leg, and he was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in fair condition, police said.
The Charger, which was reported stolen earlier this week, fled the scene.
CWBChicago was created in 2013 by five residents of Wrigleyville and Boystown who had grown disheartened with inaccurate information that was being provided at local Community Policing (CAPS) meetings.
Our coverage area has expanded since then to cover Lincoln Park, River North, The Loop, Uptown, and other North Side Areas. But our mission remains unchanged: To provide original public safety reporting with better context and greater detail than mainstream media outlets.
