A drive-by shooting critically wounded a U.S. Postal Service worker in Chicago.
According to reports on Thursday, a mail carrier was shot in both her legs, stomach and back of the head while working on the south side of Chicago. The 24-year-old victim was rushed to a local hospital where she remains in critical condition.
“I just hope that she pulls through,” said the victim’s coworker Sarah Owens. “I’m actually scared to even go back to my route because my route is right near hers and I heard it’s a turf war going on over there.”
This is the USPS worker’s manager. She says the victim works at the Grand Crossing Branch and this was her normal route.
