CHICAGO -- A 7-year-old girl was critically wounded early Wednesday when she was shot in the head as she sat on a porch in the 2300 block of West 18th Place, police said.
The shooting occurred shortly after midnight, and police said the apparently stray bullet may have been fired from several blocks away. The girl was sitting on the front porch with her mother at the time of the shooting.
Police said they were looking for several males who were seen by witnesses fleeing the scene in what appeared to be a dark-colored Ford Crown Victoria.
