At 9:36 p.m., Breckenridge and her 47-year-old boyfriend were arguing inside a home in the 6700 block of South Winchester when she opened fire, police said.

The man was struck in his shoulder and taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where his condition was stabilized, police said.

Breckenridge, who lives in the same block as the shooting, was then taken into custody, police said.

Judge David R. Navarro ordered her held without bail during a hearing on Sunday, according to Cook County court records. Her next court date was scheduled for Friday.
