CHICAGO, Feb. 1 (UPI) — The body of a woman was found inside a bullet-riddled van on the ramp of a Chicago expressway Friday morning while a passenger was not injured, officials said.
Police found the body while responding to a report of an automobile crash, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The woman was pronounced dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the Illinois State Police said. A second woman in the van was not injured.
Police said the 32-year-old woman was fatally shot when a van pulled alongside her vehicle and fired 10 to 14 shots, the Chicago Tribune reported.
One round hit the woman, who was driving.
Police said the shooting may have been drug-related. The van was discovered about 4:20 a.m.

Hello! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
Judgeing by the amount of comments here, there are a lot of people with a whole lot of free time on their hands.
“My grandson owns a couple of shotguns. He is not required to have any liability insurance that covers him or his actions. Of the gun owners I know none have specific insurance covering the use of their guns. If you are a home owner your house insurance may cover some of this. If you are a renter I doubt that your renters insurance would cover it.”
If i came over and beat your mailbox to death with a 6 iron, I would be liable for the damages; just as I would if i had shot your mailbox I don’t have insurance on the 6 iron. What you are worried about is a) collecting a large amounjt of money just because they used a firearm and b) another cost to help prevent ownership of firearms.
“The guns that would be included in the ban, that people have legally now, will over time wear out, get turned in, ect.”
Again just away to remove “scary” “assault weapons” from ownership. Which has been factually proven to do nothing about gun violence.

@Happy Guy-Gee, you need to give it a rest. You have to be running out of arguments by now.
In another topic you stated people have “freedom of speech. And that it’s in the Constitution”. Are you saying that only pertains to your freedom? Hah!

You can ban anything you want but if you don’t enforce the law it isn’t worth a pile of dog poo. In the US a person selling drugs can get off with a cheaper fine than someone not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. Does this make sense? Or check this out. I read all the time about deferred sentences and fines for criminals caught selling A LOT of dope. They get probation most of the time for the 1st offense and sometimes even the 2nd offense. Get pulled over not wearing your seatbelt…you will pay a heafty fine.
I wonder where the problem lies?
Kinda like drunk driving laws. Slaps on the wrist for OWI’s all the time. Until some innocent person is killed by that same or other drunk who disregards others rights.
Or the pedophile who keeps raping children because they get a slap on the wrist.
But smoke a joint and you do 10 yrs.
What’s wrong & what’s the problem?
The answer is Conservatives demanding “feel good laws” Re: pot. But think nothing of driving drunk or allowing a pedophile priest to go free and LIES to save his azz.
Any more questions?
I don’t care if someone owns an assault weapon or not. I’m just sick of hearing “OBAMA WANTS TO TAKE OUR GUNS! We got a right to guns it says so in the Constitution. blah blah blah blah” STFU! Nobody is trying to keep citizens from owing guns t protect themselves. That’s ALL you have a RIGHT to. The “type” is up to our government to decide what they want in the hands of Joe Blow. Don’t like it? You’re free to leave America. We don’t need you.
nuff said.

Just wait till obamacare fully kicks in, there will be a whole lot more deaths.
How would you know? I doubt you can even comprehend most of it. That’s why your kind listens to the lieing TPartyers. They can’t comprehend it either.
That’s why they make up stuff about it.
We could ban Chicago !!!
The story thickens. A passenger in the vehicle was not injured.
food 4 thought, Doctors have killed more peopls in the last 10 years then guns have…….Jim
There are places offering $1500 rewards for turning in names of felons who have assault-style guns and $1000 for all other guns. This program is working well where it is offered. They fund it from confiscated cars, money, homes, etc.
If you run with druggers you take the chance of getting killed or hurt at any given time. Dealing in drug is still illegal and you should be responsible for your own actions. To bad she was killed but she had to know it could happen.
But, how can this sort of thing happen? They have some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere and yet people still are getting shot. If police think this may be drug related, maybe they should make drugs ilegal or vans since she was in a van.
