A 13-year-old girl was shot Saturday in a home in Burnside on the South Side.

She was in a bedroom about 4:52 a.m. in a residence in the 9200 block of South Ellis Avenue when two males unleashed gunfire from the sidewalk, Chicago police said.

A bullet ripped through a window and hit the girl in the shoulder, police said. She was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital where her condition was stabilized.

No one is in custody as Area South detectives are investigating.
