CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago Police say a 6-year-old sitting on a porch with her mother and grandmother was shot in the stomach by a bullet fired a block away.

Spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says the shooting happened in the West Englewood neighborhood on the city's South Side just after 1 p.m. on Tuesday. He says a caravan of vehicles pulled up to a group of people and shots were fired.
