A 28-year-old woman was killed, and two men were wounded when they were shot Monday in Back of the Yards on the South Side.

They were riding in a vehicle about 9 p.m. in the 5400 block of South Bishop Street when they heard gunfire and realized they were shot, Chicago police said. They kept driving and stopped in the 1500 block of West 47th Street where authorities responded.

The woman was shot in the armpit and shoulder, and she was pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center, police said. The Cook County medical examiner’s office hasn’t released details about her death.

A 30-year-old man was hit in the shoulder, and a 27-year-old man was struck in the arm and shoulder, police said. They were both taken to the same hospital in fair condition.

None of them knew who fired shots or where they came from, police said.

No one is in custody as Area Central detectives investigate.
