Police said at 4:12 p.m., a 34-year-old man was on the sidewalk when he got into a quarrel with another man. The second man then took out a gun and shot the first man, striking him in the right leg. The victim – a security guard at the liquor store – took out his own gun and began firing shots at the gunman.
“That security guard, he was there laying there on the ground as they’re shooting down the block,” said witness Stevie McDuffey. “He reloaded his gun and he kept shooting. He was just shooting down that way – I don’t know at what.”During the exchange of gunfire, a 55-year-old woman who was walking on the sidewalk was shot in the chest. She was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
