A 14-year-old boy shot and critically injured a man who pulled a knife on a woman during a domestic altercation in Hyde Park last night, Chicago police said.
CPD said a man and a woman, both 33, were engaged in a domestic inside a home in the 4800 block of South Drexel when the man armed himself with a knife around 11:02 p.m.
Upon seeing the knife, the boy “produced a handgun and fired” at the man, according to a police statement. The man suffered a gunshot wound that entered his shoulder and exited near his armpit, leaving him in critical condition.
Officers recovered a firearm and two shell casings inside the home. Detectives were interviewing the 14-year-old, whom CPD referred to as “a person of interest.”
