A shooting investigation unfolded along busy Lincoln Avenue in Chicago's Budlong Woods neighborhood Wednesday morning, with bullet holes left in the window of a 7-Eleven store and in a car parked nearby. Information from police on whether anyone had been hurt or taken into custody was not immediately available.
The bullet-riddled window belongs to the 7-Eleven at 5562 N. Lincoln Avenue, right at the intersection with Rockwell Street and just off Bryn Mawr Avenue, according to CBS Chicago. A separate car sitting in a nearby parking lot, cordoned off behind crime scene tape, was also found with bullet holes, the outlet reported.
What Police Have Not Confirmed
Beyond the physical damage at the scene, details remain scarce. Information from police on whether anyone was hurt or arrested was not immediately available, per the same CBS Chicago report. The supplied report did not address a suspect description, weapon or motive.
The intersection is where Lincoln Avenue meets Rockwell Street, near Bryn Mawr Avenue.
A Different Shooting on the Same Street
Lincoln Avenue runs for miles across the North Side. Wednesday's incident occurred in Budlong Woods, while a deadly shooting reported by ABC 7 Chicago occurred in the 2200 block of North Lincoln Avenue in the separate Lincoln Park neighborhood, where 30-year-old Malik McCorkle was killed in July. The incidents occurred in different neighborhoods and at different times.
For now, the extent of Wednesday's investigation is limited to what was visible at the scene: bullet holes in a convenience-store window and a car behind police tape, with the broader circumstances still unresolved.
