A woman was shot while riding in a vehicle Tuesday morning in the Bronzeville neighborhood.

The 25-year-old was a passenger in a vehicle about 11:20 a.m. when an SUV pulled alongside her vehicle in the 4000 block of South Michigan Avenue, according to Chicago police.

Someone in the SUV demanded that she and her driver get out and then fired shots at her vehicle when her driver tried to pull away, police said. The woman was struck in the hip and driven to St. Bernard Hospital, where she was stabilized and transferred to Stroger Hospital in serious condition.

Area Central detectives were investigating.
