CHICAGO (WGN) — A 15-year-old boy faces a felony weapons charge in connection with the shooting of a tourist near the AMC Theater in Streeterville earlier this month, Chicago police said Monday.
Authorities say the 15-year-old boy was taken into custody on Monday after detectives identified him as the alleged shooter responsible for the March 9 incident in the 300 block of E Illinois St.
WGN News previously reported that shots rang out around 8 p.m. near East Illinois Street and North McClurg Court during an argument after theater personnel instructed a group of teens to leave.
According to Chicago Ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd Ward), the juvenile male pulled a gun from his backpack and fired several shots, with one bullet piercing the coat of the 46-year-old Connecticut woman, striking her in the arm. Witnesses who spoke with WGN said they heard about five or six shots.
The female tourist survived.
Authorities charged the 15-year-old with aggravated battery by firearm discharge.
