A 7-year-old girl dressed in a bumblebee outfit while trick-or-treating with her family in Chicago on Halloween was shot in the lower neck and rushed to hospital in critical condition, police said.
The incident took place around 5:30 p.m. on Thursday in Chicago’s West Side, in the Little Village neighborhood. The young girl was walking on the sidewalk with her family when at least one man in a group of three began shooting at a 31-year-old as he ran past the girl, injuring his left hand and hitting the 7-year-old’s neck, according to police.
