Bullets went through her bedroom window just after 11 p.m., right next to Ogden Park, at 64th Street and Racine Avenue. Police said shots were fired from outside. The bullet, fired from outside the home, went straight through the upstairs window and into her bedroom. 

The girl was taken to Comer Children's Hospital in serious condition with a gunshot wound to the leg.
