A horrifying incident took place on Tuesday morning in Chicago’s West Pullman neighborhood when a gunman shot a 50-year-old man and his dog. The shooting occurred at around 7:25 a.m. in the 300 block of East 117th Street.
According to the police report, the victim was outside with his dog when the gunman exited a red sedan and approached on foot. Without warning, the gunman opened fire, hitting the man in the stomach and buttocks, and the dog in the shoulder. Police found eight shell casings in the middle of the street, indicating a violent and targeted attack.
Paramedics rushed the victim to Advocate Christ Hospital, where he is currently in good condition. Fortunately, the dog also survived the attack and is in good health, as confirmed by the police.
After the shooting, the gunman quickly returned to the red sedan and fled the scene. As of now, no arrests have been made, and the police have not provided any description of the suspect. The motive behind the shooting remains unknown, leaving the community in shock and fear.
