A 22-year-old woman was grazed by a bullet when a man fired a gun at her while she was driving at about 2:45 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 2, near the intersection of Milwaukee and Central avenues in Gladstone Park, according to Chicago police.
The woman reported that a short time earlier a man had become upset with her because she parked her car behind his red truck in a parking lot at 5316 N. Milwaukee Ave. while she went to a nearby mailbox, according to police.
The woman reported that the man became angry and shouted profanities at her and that she then apologized and drove away but the man followed her, police said.
She told officers that the man cut her vehicle off while they were driving northbound on Central Avenue and that numerous shots were fired, breaking her car’s windows, police said.
The woman reported that one of the gunshots struck her shoulder but she continued to drive to a nearby family member’s home, where she called police, according to police.
The woman suffered a graze wound to her right shoulder but declined to be transported to a hospital, police said.
