CHICAGO — A 21-year-old woman was fatally shot while confronting burglars Wednesday night, just two hours after four others — including two children — were shot on the city’s South Side.
Concerned someone was breaking into the Gresham home, the woman walked to the garage in the 7500 block of South Wolcott Avenue about 7:45 p.m., where she interrupted at least one burglar in the act. That’s when the assailant opened fire, hitting her in the chest, back and arm, Chicago police said in a media notification.
Jessica Hudson, 21, whose home address was on the same block where she was killed, was pronounced dead on the scene, according to information released by the Cook County medical examiner’s office Thursday morning.
