A 74-year-old man was critically injured following a shooting in Chicago’s North Center neighborhood, occurring just before the hustle of the Monday morning rush. According toCBS News, the elderly man had been exiting his vehicle on the 2000 block of West Berteau Avenue when two individuals started shooting at him. Struck in the arm and suffering from a graze wound to his neck, the man was promptly transported to Illinois Masonic Hospital where he was listed in critical condition.
In response to the violent occurrence, a SWAT incident unfolded later the same day, resulting in an arrest connected to the morning’s assault. City Council member Matt Martin revealed on Facebook that the arrest took place around 1 p.m. in the 4100 block of North Lincoln Avenue, as reported by theChicago Sun-Times. Law enforcement officials continued to search for the second assailant within the established SWAT perimeter following the apprehension of the first suspect.
Details of the incident remain sparse as the investigation proceeds, and the identity of the apprehended individual has yet to be disclosed. Chicago police Sgt. John Zinchuk indicated to reporters that as of 2:15 p.m., both the scene of the shooting and the surrounding area impacted by the SWAT situation remained “an active scene.”
The community has been put on alert while the Chicago Police Department persists in its efforts to locate the second attacker. Updates are expected as they become available, and local residents are encouraged to report any pertinent information to authorities. The status of the injured man has not been updated since his admission to the hospital in critical condition. This account of events will evolve as further information is gathered and released.
