A tragic incident unfolded in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood Tuesday night when a 15-year-old boy was fatally shot, as reported by the Chicago Sun-Times. The teen was standing in an alley on the 6600 block of South Champlain Avenue around 8:30 p.m. when he was struck by gunfire, police said.
He sustained gunshot wounds to the abdomen and left leg and although officers and an anonymous 911 caller responded to shots fired, two males were seen running from the scene, one exclaiming "My son got shot!" according to the police report obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times. No arrest has yet been made despite ongoing investigations by Area 1 detectives.
ABC7 Chicago affirms the location of the shooting to be in the West Woodlawn neighborhood and notes the victim was transported to Comer Children's Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
