In a separate incident in Hanover Park yesterday afternoon, a 74-year-old woman was wounded in Halmans Walk after reportedly being caught in the crossfire during a shootout between rival gangs. She was transported to a medical facility in a private vehicle. An attempted murder case has been opened.
