A woman drove herself to a hospital after she was grazed by a bullet in a drive-by shooting Wednesday morning in Humboldt Park.

The woman, 26, was driving north in the 800 block of North Kedzie Avenue at 7:10 a.m. when someone in a dark-colored SUV pulled up and opened fire, Chicago police said.

She was grazed in the forehead and went to Stroger Hospital, where her condition was stabilized, police said.
