1-Year-Old Shot in Head in Chicago as City Nears 7
Post# of 123696
A1-year-old boy survived a gunshot wound to the head in Chicago Thursday as the Windy City nears a grim milestone for homicides in 2021.
Talisha Ashford was driving on Chicago's South Side with her three sons when a shooting erupted near her vehicle.
A bullet pierced the windshield of the SUV, went past Ashford, and grazed the head of her 1-year-old son, Cor'Mari Allen.
"A bullet just went past me, and my baby was in the back," Ashford told ABC7 Chicago. "It made a pop noise to my ear. I could feel it so close to me I actually thought I was hit."
Allen's oldest brother, Cordaryl Allen, 10, remembered shouting out "he got hit" once he noticed that his baby brother was bleeding.
"First I thought he got shot right here cause I just saw a whole lot of blood," recalled Cordaryl. "There was a lot of blood."
