Guard fired 20 shots while lying on ground— killing grandma 4 blocks away, prosecutors say

Chicago police work the scene where a 55-year-old woman was killed and a 34-year-old man working security was injured in the 200 block of East 35th Street, Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2022. | Tyler LaRiviere/Sun-Times

Victor Brown missed his target, but one of the bullets he fired Tuesday afternoon instead struck a 55-year-old grandmother in the chest as she walked to a bank four blocks away, prosecutors said.
