“When I got hurt a couple years ago, we had a male physical therapist, and he was really lax about it,” Comas said. “He just told me I’m ‘good to go.’ Having an environment for women would’ve been a lot more comfortable and better for healing the injury long term.”

Dr. Mary Mulcahey, director of sports medicine and an orthopedic surgeon at Loyola Medicine, said stories like Faith’s were what inspired her to help launch a new program to provide health care for female athletes. Loyola’s new Women’s Sports Medicine program aims to educate women on the risks of sports injuries while offering gender-specific care, she said.

“The main impetus or idea behind this is that there are certain injuries that are more common or unique to female athletes, so the program really focuses on having a group that has expertise in treating these conditions and is aware of some of the nuances and differences with treating female athletes,” Mulcahey said.

Mulcahey said that the program will utilize a network of physicians including primary care, sports medicine, orthopedic medicine, endocrinology, urogynecology, sports, cardiology, and obstetrics and gynecology, along with physical therapists and athletic trainers.

The program will allow female athletes to more easily access different kinds of doctors at once, she said. There can be a number of factors that play into an individual injury, according to Mulcahey, and offering a network that can easily connect athletes with several types of doctors eliminates tedious middle steps.

“If I were to see a patient who had a stress factor, for example, I would inquire about their menstrual cycle and their eating habits,” Mulcahey said. “This is a good example of where the interdisciplinary approach really works. If they’re having irregular menses, I could refer them to an OB-GYN colleague. I’d ask about their eating habits, and maybe refer them to a nutritionist or dietician or maybe even a counselor in the program.”

While Mulcahey said it has historically been possible to refer patients to other doctors, the Women’s Sports Medicine program introduces a streamlined approach for female athletes.

The doctors included in the program also all have a particular focus on female patients, she added. Having that specialized knowledge can help in approaching an injury as simple as an ACL tear.

“ACL tears are upwards of eight times more common in female athletes,” Mulcahey said. “In the knee, the ACL is smaller, the overall alignment of the lower extremity of the legs is different in female athletes, hormonal variations and fluctuation throughout the menstrual cycle have a huge impact on the risk of ACL tears. You need doctors that understand that.”

In February, Comas tore her ACL while wrestling and came to Mulcahey for surgery. She said that receiving a treatment specialized for women’s bodies made her feel a lot safer, especially as a wrestler.

Because of a lack of women in her sport, Comas said, she’s often had to wrestle men or women who were in a completely different weight class, presenting a higher risk of injury. Having a doctor who understood how women are built differently from men and could address her symptoms with that in mind made a big difference, she said.

“My freshman year I got injured, and my coach was just asking ‘When can she wrestle? Can she do this?’ Comas said. “I think with this injury things have been explained better and people have been a lot more patient. I can actually focus on healing the injury.”

Giavanna Green, a 17-year-old cheerleader who tore her meniscus and ACL in October, had surgery in May after months of confusion about her injury. Mulcahey also performed Green’s surgery, and Green said she felt supported and encouraged by the network of doctors at Loyola.

Green said that Mulcahey stressed stretching and taking care of her leg, doing proactive exercises to prevent hurting or re-tearing the ligaments. Green said she appreciated that education since things like stretching and taking care of the body can be glossed over in sports, she said

“A lot of people push themselves so hard,” Green said. “If someone came in and taught us to understand how not to overwork ourselves and cause these injuries, I feel like it would be really beneficial.”

Mulcahey said that she plans to do just that in Loyola’s new program. The program aims to partner with local teams, clubs and sports organizations to provide teach-ins and resources on injury prevention for female athletes like Comas and Green.

Getting to women before they are injured is imperative, Mulcahey said.

“We want to connect with and be available for various women’s sports teams,” she said. “We also are looking at giving talks at some of our local high schools where there are many active women and girls, where we could share information about injuries and injury prevention. We’re trying to bring that education into the community.”

Overall, Mulcahey said, the program aims to dig deeper into female injuries, separating outcomes in male and female athletes and learning more about what injuries are more common in or completely unique to female athletes.

“In having a women’s sports medicine program, there is an opportunity to do research to really investigate these injuries in female athletes,” Mulcahey said “Are there differences? Are there things we need to be keeping in mind? Should we be modifying our approach to care for our female athletes? The Women’s Sports Medicine program is an opportunity to do that.”

“The birds hunt, so they focus on the ground and what they’re looking for, and don’t really focus on where they’re going,” Husted said. “So they accidentally hit wind turbines, and it kills them.”

Illinois is the fifth-largest state for wind energy, and produces about 7% of the United States’ wind energy, according to the American Clean Power Association, a renewable energy industry group.

But, hundreds of thousands of birds and nearly 1 million bats die every year in collisions with wind turbines throughout the United States and Canada. As scientists look for ways to mitigate the effects of climate change, clean energy producers need to keep wildlife populations and their habitats in mind, experts say.

“More than half of the (bat) species in the U.S. are either declining or at some risk of decline,” said Winifred Frick, chief scientist at Bat Conservation International. “Wind energy is the leading cause of mortality for our long-distance migratory species. And that mortality rate is worryingly high.”

Husted said the wind farm in DeWitt County went through his county’s approval process twice, ultimately passing a second county board vote. He said there was strong opposition from the community at both meetings.

“It passed, although they had not addressed our concerns,” Husted said. “In all of the public meetings, there were just a few people on the ‘for’ side and a ton of people on the ‘against’ side. But we were characterized as just a vocal minority.”

The wind farm, operated by Enel Green Power, has been in operation for nearly a year. Matthew Saville, a site manager for the wind project, said no eagle deaths have been observed at the site so far.

“By avoiding fossil fuel emissions, wind power promotes clean air and water for wildlife,” Saville said. “Properly sited wind energy has been endorsed by leading environmental and wildlife groups including the Audubon Society, and Enel diligently studies wildlife patterns to design projects that minimize potential impacts. Wind power’s impact on bird mortality is extremely small when compared to other sources, such as collisions with tall buildings and communications towers, vehicle strikes, lead poisoning, and habitat conversion.”

Mona Khalil, who leads the Energy and Wildlife Research Program at the U.S. Geological Survey, said significant research still has to be done to determine the overall impact of turbines on bat and bird populations. But, it’s clear that wind farms such as the one in DeWitt County present a problem, she added.

Khalil said in most states, including Illinois, it is not mandatory to track or share data measuring bird or bat deaths near wind farms, she said.

“What would be really helpful is if we had better access to this kind of information, then we could really do the kinds of studies that need to be done in order to get a better sense of what the impacts are,” Khalil said.

Meaghan Gade, a program manager with the Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies, which represents state and federal agencies and includes the Illinois Department of Natural Resources among its members, said the organization wants to see developers take wildlife into consideration.

“There are no states that are trying to stand in the way of renewable energy development,” Gade said. “What the states are focused on is how can we do that development while mitigating avoidable impacts to wildlife.”

Jason Ryan, a spokesperson with the American Clean Power Association, said wind farms across the country have implemented mitigation tactics to reduce the impact of turbines on wildlife.

Other sources of energy, including hydraulic fracking, pose a much higher risk for birds, he said.

“Wind energy companies are recognized leaders in their efforts to understand the potential impacts to wildlife through pre-construction studies and design projects carefully to avoid and minimize wildlife impacts,” Ryan said in a statement. “Renewable energy offers the safest and cleanest approach to generating electricity, decreasing air and water pollution that negatively impacts humans and wildlife alike.”

According to Khalil, some large farms have implemented technologies that monitor when animals are coming near and have developed strategies to slow collisions. A tower that can detect species flying within 1 kilometer and stop wind turbines on the farm from rotating is one example.

“Installing those types of technologies that can detect if there’s actual risk is really good,” Khalil said. “If facilities incorporate that into their design and practice operational changes when a risk to an animal is there, that would reduce fatalities.”

There are a few other methods that could lower bat and bird deaths, according to Frick.

One is to change the “cut-in speed,” the speed at which turbine blades spin to generate power. Frick said if wind farms changed their power-generating speed to 11 mph, for example, they could halve the number of bats killed, and at 13 mph, fatalities could decrease between 60% and 80%. Cut-in speeds currently vary between 6 and 9 mph, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

The higher the cut-in speed, the fewer bats and birds would be killed because they can’t fly into the structures as easily when the wind speeds are higher, Frick said. Most bat fatalities occur when turbine speeds are low, she said, so requiring that blades spin faster to produce electricity could eliminate some of those deaths.

But that’s often not an attractive solution for farms looking to maximize their electricity production.

Turbines also often continue spinning below the cut-in speed when they are not actively producing electricity. Frick said halting turbines during these periods would not tangibly affect the energy produced, and could be another option to help limit bird deaths.

“You can change the tilt of the blades so they won’t catch any wind at very low wind speeds,” Frick said. “If they’re not spinning, they basically are harmless. And it’s not costing you any power because they aren’t doing much at those speeds anyway.”

Bethany Straw, an assistant coordinator at the North American Bat Monitoring Program, said development companies should also ensure renewable energy facilities are being built outside bird and bat habitats. Straw said bats and birds are usually attached to their homes and migratory paths, and when structures are built near a water source, a nest or prey, they can be particularly dangerous.

Encouraging the wind industry to preserve habitats has been a particular focus for bat conservationists, according to Straw.

Deaths from wind energy are one of the two leading causes of death for bats in the country, according to Straw. The other is white-nose syndrome, a fungus that attacks the skin, ear and wind membranes of hibernating bats, and affects their immune system and metabolism. The fungus killed so many bats in the Illinois Caverns in the southwest part of the state that local officials closed them to tourists for more than a decade.

“Habitat change is kind of this nebulous stressor because it can occur in so many different ways, and then those cascading effects you observe can be different for different bats in different habitats,” Straw said. “If we can conserve these really important habitats, that helps the population.”

Michelle Braswell lives in Clinton County, Iowa, halfway between Des Moines and Chicago. In February, she learned that her neighbor had applied for a permit to construct a wind turbine 1,800 feet from an eagle’s nest on her property.

Braswell said she rallied the community around stopping the project, creating yard signs and making a Facebook group with more than 800 members. She said she wants people to be more wary of where they are building turbines.

“So many lobbyists say this is about landowner rights, and a landowner should be able to put wind turbines on their ground wherever they want,” Braswell said. “But what about the eagles? They don’t stand a chance against these huge blades.”

Braswell said there have been multiple delays in the permit process for her neighbor’s structure because of unrelated complications, including a lack of voting members at one meeting and a tornado warning at another. The structure is still waiting for approval.

Overall, Frick said, the larger conflict between renewable energy sources and wildlife runs deeper than just the relationship between wind farms and birds.

Wind and solar power are expected to play dominant roles in expanding the nation’s supply of clean electricity and are crucial to efforts to reach net-zero emissions, studies show. The Biden administration has set a goal of a carbon-free power sector by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions economy-wide by 2050. In Illinois, a 2021 state law outlaws coal- and gas-fired electricity by 2045.

While habitat loss and collision risks are also concerns with solar farms, there is not as much evidence about the threat to wildlife, according to experts.

“With wind farms, it’s easy to say we know survival is impacted, right?” said Liz Kalies, a lead renewable energy scientist at the Nature Conservancy. “We know there are direct strikes. We know there’s direct mortality from wind farms. Solar is trickier because we don’t have very much direct mortality.”

Kalies said there are a number of ways that solar developers can also prioritize wildlife. Like with wind farms, building solar energy in natural habitats can affect mammals and birds.

“When you cut down forests, when you remove natural habitat, it’s certainly going to be a loss,” Kalies said. “But when you start with degraded lands, mine lands, brownfields, landfills, everything you do from that point on is an improvement.”

Some solar farms in wildlife-heavy habitats have implemented design tools such as animal-friendly fencing, Kalies said, so that nearby animals can continue to use the space. Others have pursued vegetation management, planting wildflowers and other pollinator habitats inside the solar farm to preserve the existing natural habitat.

Kalies said there is still research being done to measure the overall impact of solar farms on the surrounding landscape. But, she said, scientists have observed all types of animals, from bobcats to possums, on solar farms.

Overall, Kalies said, wildlife conservation needs to be a consideration for any renewable energy site. Frick agreed.

“Even if things like solar panels are preferable to wind turbines when it comes to bats, we need to be focusing on not converting any kind of animal habitat into solar fields or any other kind of development site,” Frick said. “It’s all part of a bigger balancing act.”

According to Gade, project manager with the Fish & Wildlife Agencies, there are currently no incentives or regulations that require developers to take wildlife into account.

But conservation should start at the beginning of any development process, she said.

“Remember that we can do both,” Gade said. “We can have renewable energy development, which is necessary to meet emission reduction goals, but we can also have wildlife conservation. Let’s make development happen responsibly.”

“There are better chances of thunderstorms in the early afternoon and late morning in Rockford,” said David King, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “The question becomes, does that system that’s kind of tracking to the northeast bring anything into the city later tonight. And we can’t completely rule it out.”

King said he would predict a 30 to 40% chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms in the city tonight, though it’s possible rain passes Chicago completely.

If the city sees storms tonight, they will likely be to the north and west of Chicago, he added.

King also said the city will experience rising temperatures before a dip Monday night.

“We’ve got O’Hare slated to get to about 85, Midway 86, so anywhere in the mid 80s, creeping towards the upper 80s today,” King said. “And then temperatures will drop into the upper 60s. Just stay aware of the weather today.”

The child was on the 8100 block of South Harper Avenue around 5:30 p.m. when a pick-up truck turning north struck him. He was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital and pronounced dead.

Hours later, a second crash involving two vehicles killed a 40-year-old male in Roger’s Park.

The adult male was driving a motorcycle across town around 10:30 p.m. when he hit a vehicle making a U-turn. He was taken to St. Francis Hospital and pronounced dead.

The driver of the vehicle was also hospitalized and is in good condition.

The driver in Avalon Park was cited for a failure to yield, though police said investigations into both incidents are ongoing.

Authorities said vehicles crashed on the Eisenhower Expressway near Damen Avenue just after 3 a.m. Two people were killed, and authorities said they believe one was outside of their vehicle at the time of the crash.

Three others were hospitalized, according to police. There was no update on their conditions Sunday morning.

Outbound lanes on I-290 were closed for about four hours Sunday morning, but reopened by 8 a.m., police said.

“You can spot turtles, you can spot herons, you can sometimes get lucky and there’s mink, and river otter,” Weitekamper said. “We can, of course, see ducks and geese, and there’s a time when the frogs hatch and start jumping around.”

Weitekamper sees most of this wildlife at the West Ridge Nature Park, an urban habitat walking distance from his house. But, that kind of space isn’t available to many people in Chicago.

A new study from Lincoln Park Zoo found low-income Chicago neighborhoods see around five fewer mammal species than wealthier areas, according to Mason Fidino, a senior quantitative ecologist at the Urban Wildlife Institute at Lincoln Park Zoo.

Fidino published the study alongside other researchers around the country and looked specifically at how changing demographics in a neighborhood can affect wildlife.

Fidino said researchers used the census definition of gentrification to compare neighborhoods, using changes in racial makeup, education levels and housing prices, to determine whether a neighborhood was gentrified. Fidino then compared the number of mammals in gentrified and nongentrified neighborhoods.

“We know systemic racism can have an influence on the ecology of cities,” Fidino said. “We wanted to more closely examine how gentrification may be tied to variation in wildlife diversity.”

Fidino and his team distributed camera traps around the city and measured how many and which kind of mammals were observed in certain neighborhoods over three years. Researchers noticed a particular difference in Chicago. While most cities, including other large urban areas such as Seattle and Los Angeles, saw a difference of one to two species between neighborhoods, Chicago neighborhoods saw differences of three to five mammal types.

“We do see an increase in species richness in gentrified neighborhoods across the board,” Fidino said. “It’s usually not that big of a bump. But there are some cities where we actually saw a much larger effect, and that was specifically true in Chicago.”

Fidino said the team observed raccoons, coyotes, deer, squirrels, foxes and other mammals in neighborhoods throughout the Chicago area.

Still, many Chicago residents said they weren’t surprised by the disparities revealed in the study’s findings.

Anthony Moser, for example, lived in the McKinley Park neighborhood for more than a decade starting in 2008. He lives just a few blocks over in Brighton Park now and said he hasn’t seen much wildlife in either neighborhood.

Moser said he thinks that is likely because of a long history of pollution in the area. McKinley Park borders the Central Manufacturing District, the city’s first planned industrial district, created in 1905.

While the six-story buildings of the old manufacturing district remain largely empty and abandoned today, McKinley Park has remained the site of industrial development. After an asphalt plant was built near his home in 2018, Moser said pollution in the area got even worse.

“I could hear it every morning when I woke up, without even opening a window,” Moser said. “You could just smell it in your home. But this isn’t about one plant. It represented a larger history of placing industrial facilities and heavy polluting facilities in communities like ours.”

Winifred Curran, a geography professor at DePaul University, specializes in environmental gentrification. She said Moser’s experience is part of a bigger pattern –– industrial sites have historically been placed in lower-income neighborhoods, leading to noise, odor and pollution.

All of that could be affecting the amount of wildlife in those neighborhoods, she said. Many lower-income communities also tend to have less green space and more asphalt, which perpetuates the issue, she added.

But, Curran said, resolving that issue is difficult. When lower-income communities try to add green spaces, they often attract real estate developers, who begin housing projects that price residents out of the places they’ve been living for decades.

“The neighborhoods most likely to gentrify are those that have some kind of environmental amenity,” Curran said. “We see that there is a lot more attention paid to green space, to trees, to wildlife, to habitat restoration.”

A 2022 investigation by the Chicago Tribune found the city tended to plant trees and greenery in wealthier, whiter neighborhoods. Local organizations such as Openlands, a nature conservation organization, have since established initiatives and grants to help remedy those disparities and bring tree canopies to underserved neighborhoods.

In extreme heat, trees can help cool neighborhoods. But a Tribune investigation found the city has planted more trees in wealthier, whiter areas

Fidino said the study proves the need for urban green space development and solutions for environmental pollution that do not spur gentrification, specifically in low-income neighborhoods. He added that he hopes his study helps lead to environmental policies that equitably prioritize access to nature in the coming years.

“Urban green space should be considered a very key part of just city maintenance, rather than an economic development strategy,” Fidino said. “And it should never price people out of neighborhoods. The question is, how can we come up with a process that leads to just outcomes both environmentally and socially?”

“It had been done, but it had always failed,” said Ankit Bharat, chief of thoracic surgery at Northwestern Medicine. “When you took out the lungs, the cancer cells would spread to the rest of the body, and it would come back a matter of months after the transplant.”

But after developing a new technique to replace damaged lungs during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Northwestern Medicine’s Canning Thoracic Institute has now performed more than 40 successful lung transplants on cancer patients in just two and a half years.

The operation has a 100% success rate for lung cancer patients today, and in January the hospital completed its first transplant on a patient with lungs affected by both COVID-19 and lung cancer.

Art Gillespie, a captain with the University of Chicago Police Department, contracted COVID-19 in March 2020 while visiting his uncle in a nursing home. While hospitalized with the virus, Gillespie discovered he had Stage 1 lung cancer.

Though he received treatment for COVID and chemotherapy, he developed pulmonary fibrosis, a disease that causes scarring in the lungs and makes it difficult to breathe. Ultimately, Gillespie had two-thirds of his right lung removed to treat the cancer, and, despite the operation, needed daily oxygen.

Later, Gillespie received a one-to-two-year life expectancy prognosis.

“2022 was primarily me just becoming much more sick,” Gillespie said. “My quality of life at that point was pretty impacted. My ability to do anything, even speaking, was very taxing.”

Bharat said that Gillespie was a good candidate for a double lung transplant, especially because the transplant treatment for lung cancer had been directly developed from the technique for COVID-affected lungs.

While lung transplants had typically been performed by removing the lungs one by one, cutting first the vein that takes blood from the heart to the lungs and then the vein that takes it back, surgeons had to figure out a way that would prevent COVID bacteria from moving from the lungs to the heart, according to Bharat.

Doctors developed a technique to cut the veins simultaneously and later discovered the same technique could stop the spread of cancer cells.

“We had to make the same modifications for lung cancer,” said Rade Tomic, a pulmonologist at Northwestern Medicine who also worked on the transplant treatment. “We had to make sure we didn’t spread the cancer, or let it enter the bloodstream.”

Doctors also implemented a second step that worked to ensure the removal of cancerous cells and COVID-19 bacteria from the rest of the chest. After the lungs are removed, doctors irrigate the remaining airway and chest cavity.

Gillespie said he was initially resistant to the double transplant. He’d already had a lung surgery, and did not want to undergo another major operation. But it ultimately seemed like the only option.

Gillespie had the operation in January after being placed on the transplant list in September. He is on the way to a full recovery, he said, and hopes to return to work in the near future.

“I’m a grandfather,” Gillespie said. “The first thing I thought about was having that additional time to spend with (my grandkids), and watch them grow. That’s just an indescribable benefit.”

Tomic said these new transplant techniques will have a far-ranging and widespread impact. The treatment is already being used for other conditions such as pulmonary fibrosis, and is a lifesaving intervention for later-stage lung cancer patients who may not have another option, he said.

“The goal is to help the patient, give them a chance at a new life and an opportunity to get their life back,” Tomic said. “They are going to have a much, much longer survival than they would’ve had without the lung transplantation.”

“On Clark Street, there’s a monument to World War I veterans that my grandfather took me to when I was just 5 years old,” Montcalm said.

Now, Montcalm, 70, spends every Memorial Day just feet away, watching as a parade of local veterans groups, Cub Scouts, high school students and other organizations march past that very monument and through the gates of Rosehill Cemetery to honor America’s fallen military troops.

Montcalm, whose father and grandfather were members of the armed forces, was one of hundreds of Chicago-area veterans, current service members and other residents who gathered to watch the cemetery’s annual Memorial Day parade Monday, which was followed by a ceremony, a cannon salute and a cookout inside the cemetery.

The parade route was marked with an “Avenue of Flags” inside the cemetery’s gates, displayed for the fallen soldiers being honored at Monday’s event. The flags mark all the wars in which the U.S. fought.

Michael Weidman, a service manager at Rosehill Cemetery, said the cemetery has the largest number of Union soldiers from the Civil War buried in any private cemetery in the Midwest. That history reminds him of the gravity of Memorial Day, he said.

“We are indebted to you, we offer you our humble thanks for doing what you are able and willing to do, may you never be taken for granted,” Weidman said at Monday’s ceremony.

Weidman preceded several speakers at the ceremony, including Nikki Swafford, a regent with a local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She said her organization wanted to honor their ancestors’ sacrifice in the Revolutionary War at Monday’s event.

Swafford has been coming to the parade for years, she said, and finds a supportive community there. Swafford marched with a sign during the parade and said Memorial Day holds a special significance to her.

“We are all descended from patriots who served in the American Revolution, and it means so much to honor their memories on this day,” Swafford said. “For me, my family has also been involved in every war since. So I honor their legacy and my entire family history today.”

Ald. Andre Vasquez, 40th, also attended Monday’s parade and ceremony. Vasquez thanked event organizers for their efforts to recognize veterans and fallen soldiers.

He said walking around the cemetery and passing the graves of people who died in the Civil War reminded him of what the nation has overcome, and of his goals as a local leader.

“I’m reminded that although at times we are not the most perfect union, we are a union nonetheless,” Vasquez said. “We afforded this rare ability to build community in no small part to those who have fought and died defending the values we aim to achieve.”

Vasquez encouraged attendees to honor veterans who returned this Memorial Day.

Ryan Killacky, an Army veteran who served in Afghanistan, had tears in his eyes throughout Monday’s ceremony. He said the day was incredibly emotional for him because he lost two teammates while deployed in 2009.

Killacky and his wife, Panita Luangkesorn, have been active in the American Legion, and have often volunteered at Rosehill’s Memorial Day event. The pair said they wanted to come out and enjoy it this year instead.

“It’s important to have remembrance activities like this,” Luangkesorn said, “But it’s important to recognize that people have to do this remembrance every day on their own. I want to encourage people to be kind, especially to veterans. You never know what they’re going through, or where they are in the healing process.”

The man, 23, was in a home on the 300 block of N. Long Ave. around 1:30 a.m. when he was stabbed. Officials said the assailants were two known males.

He was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital with stab wounds to the abdomen and chest where he was pronounced dead.

Chicago police said no one is in custody and detectives are still investigating the incident.

The three men were standing on the 0-100 block of 113th St. around 7:45 p.m. when an unidentified vehicle drove up and fired shots. A 35-year-old male was shot in the back and was taken to the University of Chicago Hospital in critical condition before he was pronounced dead.

The other two men, 49 and 42, were both taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in critical condition. The 42-year-old was shot in the chest.

No one is in custody and detectives are still investigating the incident, according to Chicago Police.
