Chicago-area police could be targeted by gangs; reaction on 'Outnumbered.'
A U.S. Postal Service worker reportedly was shot multiple times and critically injured around noon Thursday on Chicago's South Side.
The Chicago Police Department said the 24-year-old woman was working when she was shot multiple times at 11:38 a.m. in the 9100 block of South Ellis. She was shot in the back of both legs, her right buttocks, her stomach area and the back of her head.
"At this time, she does not appear to be the intended target. That could change," a Chicago PD spokesperson said.
