After that, no shooting were reported for the rest of Wednesday night and the entirety of Thursday.
The streak was broken about 2 a.m. Friday, when a woman was shot while riding in a car on the Dan Ryan Expressway near 79th Street. Another man was shot a short time later in the South Shore neighborhood.
