Man wounded, dog killed in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood
Chicago police on Tuesday morning were searching for the person who shot a man and killed his dog in the West Pullman neighborhood.
Police said at 7:25 a.m., the 50-year-old man was outside with his dog in the 300 block of East 117th Street when someone got out of a red sedan and came up on foot. The attacker shot both the man and the dog, police said.
The man was shot once each in the buttocks and the abdomen, while the dog was shot once in the shoulder. The man was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and was reported in good condition.
The victim's family said he is out of surgery, but the dog did not survive.
The shooter returned to the sedan and fled the scene, police said.
A nearby neighbor who was taking his kids to school heard the shots and said he's concerned about increasing crime.
"Especially in the morning. At nighttime it's late at night, but in the morning this is the first time. That I heard it this early in the morning," said resident Jesus Quiroga.
Calumet Area detectives were investigating.
