A woman was shot in Naperville over the weekend and the suspect still at large as of Monday afternoon, police said.
Officers responded about 2:45 p.m. Sunday to a call in the 1000 block of Iroquois Avenue, not far from Ogden Avenue and Naperville Road, and found a woman on a porch with a gunshot wound, Naperville police Cmdr. Rick Krakow said.
The victim, who did not live at the residence where she was shot, was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Krakow confirmed she was alive Monday but could not speak to the nature of her injuries.
He also could not provide the victim’s age or the town in which she lives.
Police believe the suspect fled in a car, but Krakow would not say if they had a description of the vehicle.
While investigators do know it wasn’t a domestic incident and the suspect and victim were “known to each other,” meaning it wasn’t a random attack, he declined to say if they are seeking a specific person or what might have provoked the shooting.
When asked if the suspect was male or female, he said, “Right now, we’re going to withhold that information.”
“Investigators have developed leads, and they’re continuing to investigate any vehicle that was involved and any person that was involved,” he said.
At the time of the shooting, police put out a shelter-place-order to households within a half-mile radius of the scene via the city’s Naper Notify mass alert system. The alert went out to “2,300 contacts” and lasted about an hour, he said.
