A high school student was shot in the head during driver’s education class Thursday afternoon on the Far South Side, Chicago police said.
The girl, 17, was behind the wheel of a Ford Focus attempting a three-point turn when people standing on the corner opened fire at a passing car traveling north in the 11300 block of South Normal Avenue shortly after noon, police said.
She was hit in the head by one of the multiple gunshots that were fired.
The teacher and another student seated in the back seat were not injured.
The victim, who received three stitches to close the wound, was at home recovering after being released from Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, according to police.
No arrests had been made yet.
