Waukegan police investigating shooting during failed carjacking

Waukegan police say they are investigating the shooting of a woman that happened during a failed carjacking attempt.

Police said they were called about 12:35 a.m. Saturday to the 500 block of Judge Avenue about a shooting. They said a woman in her 30s was shot in her car after two men tried to force their way in.

The woman suffered an injury not considered life-threatening, police said. She remained hospitalized Saturday.

Both men suspected in the attempted carjacking and shooting were described as black, taller than 6 feet and wearing sweatshirts, according to Waukegan authorities.

The victim pulled over on Judge Avenue to park her car when a light-colored, four-door sedan pulled behind her. The men then approached the woman's car, police said.

Waukegan detectives have obtained surveillance images of the sedan and believe it might be a Chevrolet Impala, and there may have been two other people in the car when the shooting occurred.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Waukegan police tip line at (847) 360-9001.
