Police said it happened after someone opened fire near Washington and State streets shortly before 8 p.m. 21:00 and hit the teenage woman while she was walking with a group of people.

She was taken to the hospital in fair condition.

“The shots, you could hear it,” said witness Raul Bermudez. “It was so close.”

Bermudez says he was just yards away, on his way to the Metra station, when he heard the shots and, like others, began running for his life.

“They all started running like cattle the opposite way,” Bermudez said. “I don’t (know) where the shooter went but I know it was very close and the gun had to be something powerful. It wasn’t small.”

Chicago Loop Alliance spokeswoman Ariella Gibson said they will continue their efforts to keep downtown safe in the wake of a scary Saturday night.

No one is in custody as Chicago police continue to investigate the shooting.
