A woman was shot to death while driving a van on the ramp from Lake Shore Drive to Interstate 55 when someone pulled alongside her and fired 10 to 14 times Friday morning, police said.
The woman, 32 and from Chicago, was hit at least once and died at the scene. A woman in the van escaped unharmed and was being questioned by police, officials said.
“A brown full-sized van approached in the left lane,” Illinois State Police Capt. Luis Gutierrez said at a press conference on the scene. “That vehicle shot at our victim approximately 10 to 14 rounds. One round struck our driver, who is now deceased at Northwestern (Memorial Hospital).”
Gutierrez declined to speculate on what led to the shooting.
“At this time we don’t want to comment on the investigation, it’s still ongoing,” he said.
Illinois State Police learned of the shooting about 4:20 a.m. from Chicago police, who got to the scene after the van crashed.
Police closed access to interstates 94 and 55 from southbound Lake Shore Drive. Flares were laid out to keep vehicles off the ramp but they were quickly extinguished by wind.
