Shootings shut down inbound I-290 from Cicero Avenue to downtown

Two people in two separate cars were wounded by the same shooter Friday night on the inbound Eisenhower Expressway, the Illinois State Police said.

State police said the shooting was reported near Pulaski Avenue around 8:20 p.m. A man told troopers another car in the inbound lanes opened fire at his vehicle, causing him to crash into an embankment.

The man was taken to a hospital with gunshot wounds. His front-seat passenger was not injured.

About 15 minutes later, Chicago police were called about a woman at a hospital who also had been shot. She had been traveling near the same area as the first shooting.

All lanes of the inbound Eisenhower Expressway were closed between Cicero Avenue and downtown Chicago for the investigation.

Friday's case marked the third expressway shooting in the Chicago area in the last three days.
