Officers responded to a call of a person shot and saw a woman on the ground by her vehicle near the curb, according to police. The woman was pronounced deceased on the scene from a gunshot wound to the head, police said.
A neighbor reported that she heard shots and saw a man kicking the woman while her two 8-year-old children were by her side and then saw the man shoot himself in the chest and fall to the ground, according to police. The man was transported to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital where he was pronounced deceased at about 1:50 p.m., police said.
A ride-share driver reportedly picked up the children and drove them to a neighbor’s home, police said. GoFundMe pages have been started to help raise funds for the two children.
