A nonagenarian accused of shooting a woman during a tiff over takeout in Englewood was sprung without charges on Wednesday. The 92-year-old sharpshooter allegedly blasted a 43-year-old woman in the arm during a Monday morning squabble inside a South Aberdeen Street home, inflicting a wound that doctors at the University of Chicago Medical Center say is non-life-threatening. This startling scenario was first reported by the Chicago Sun-Times.
Where police found him in the home, multiple firearms were discovered at the scene, raising questions about the elderly man's arsenal according to a report by Hoodline. Following a grilling by detectives, the shooter was released, with officials keeping mum on why charges weren't brought to bear against the man.
Regarding the elderly man taken into custody, the motive behind their heated exchange remains a mystery and is still being unwrapped by authorities stated Hoodline. While the victim recuperates, the community is left pondering the plight of the old man, now known less for his years and more for the echoes of a gunshot in a quiet home.
