Tynisha Blissit faces two counts each of attempted murder and aggravated battery, all felonies, according to Chicago Police. Her bail was set at $2 million at a court appearance Thursday.

At 6:48 p.m. June 11, Blissit pulled out a firearm and shot two 16-year-old boys in the 3100 block of South Lake Shore Drive, police said.
