Motorist Shot In Washington Heights
CHICAGO (STMW) -- A man was shot while driving a van Thursday night in the Washington Heights neighborhood on the South Side.
The man was driving eastbound in the 900 block of West 96th Street about 9:40 p.m. when someone inside a black SUV pulled up next to him and fired shots into the van, police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli said.
The 22-year-old motorist crashed the van into a utility pole and realized he had been shot in the right shoulder and buttocks, Mirabelli said.
He was taken in "stable" condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
