'Inconsistencies' in story of how 14-year-old girl was shot in the face in Auburn Gresham home

"We definitely believe that it was fired from inside the apartment, the residence, and she was struck while she was inside that residence, and the rest of it, like I said unfortunately, is a lot of inconsistencies we have to clear up," said Brendan Deenihan, the Chicago police chief of detectives. "But it wasn't a random act where people are shooting outside and it came through."
