CHICAGO (STMW) -- Police are questioning a "person of interest" in connection with an East Garfield Park shooting that critically wounded a woman early Tuesday.
The 27-year-old victim was shot in the head at 1:53 a.m. in the 300 block of South Mozart Street, police said. She was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County in critical condition.
Police are questioning a 31-year-old man in relation to the shooting, News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli said.
