The student, a 19-year-old woman, was walking with a friend when they heard gunshots. Once she realized she was wounded, her friend took her to St Francis Hospital where she required surgery.
-- A Northwestern University freshman is recovering after getting shot off-campus Monday night in the Rogers Park neighborhood.A 19-year-old woman and a friend were standing in Willye B. White Park, near Howard Street and Ashland Avenue, around 10:15 p.m., when they heard gunshots and started running.The victim's friend drove her to St. Francis Hospital, where she was listed in critical but stable condition."It was, like, you know, really loud; boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
"We are heartbroken and outraged that gun violence continues to have such an impact on members of our community and on the greater Chicago area. Please keep this student and their family in your thoughts," the university said in a statement. Northwestern officials encouraged students to take advantage of free virtual mental health support services, or the university's Counseling and Psychological Services offices. University employees also can take advantage of the Employee Assistance Program.
Hours after the student was shot, police were called back to the scene; this time across the street from where they originally began their investigation, to a nearby parking lot, where someone had shot Sargo Ortiz's car. He had showed up to pick up his landscaping and concrete truck for work, and found a bullet hole in the front windshield, and a shattered driver's side window.
"In the morning, I come and when I see, I think maybe somebody broke in the glass when they tried to steal something in my truck, but now when I see the big glass, I see that somebody shoot it," said Ortiz."I think the cost is around to $800, and I lose my day of work," he said."I need it every day, my truck. Right now, I can't work.
