CHICAGO — A man who was shot in Rogers Park on Monday evening did not cooperate with cops who responded to help him, according to Chicago police.
The 31-year-old was standing outside a vehicle in the 1600 block of West Juneway Terrace when someone fired shots shortly before 6 p.m. He suffered a gunshot wound to his right leg.
Officers at the scene said they were told that the man got “caught in the crossfire” of gunmen who were firing between two vehicles, but the police later said the victim stopped talking to them and refused to cooperate further.
He was in good condition at St. Francis Hospital.
So far this year, 31 people have been shot in Rogers Park. That’s exactly the same number shot at this point last year and only one more than in 2022. Authorities determined that four of 2022’s shootings were acts of self-defense.
