'I'm disgusted,' Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson says, 'but committed to doing everything we can to find the cowards that would engage in a gun battle during the early evening hours while children are trick or treating.'
A 7-year-old girl was clinging to life Friday morning after she was shot by"cowards" while trick-or-treating with her family on Halloween, said Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson.
"Obviously the little girl wasn't the target. We think two gangs were having a dispute and one of them shot at the other," Johnson told reporters Friday morning."She just was in the wrong place at the wrong time." A man who police believe was the likely target was shot in the hand during the incident, Johnson said."Those involved don't deserve to be in our city," he said."I'm disgusted but committed to doing everything we can to find the cowards that would engage in a gun battle during the early evening hours while children are trick or treating."
One person of interest has been identified, Johnson said, adding, that there were"multiple offenders," though the specific number is unclear.
