Man Shot In Neck By Woman He Groped: Police

CHICAGO, IL — A man was shot in the neck early Wednesday in a home in Chicago's South Side by a woman he had groped, according to police. He then attacked another woman in the home, biting a part of her ear off, police say.

The 56-year-old man was in the Bronzeville neighborhood in a home with two women when he groped one of them. She asked him to stop and he became "agitated and aggressive," police said. He pushed her to the ground.

The woman got a handgun from her bag. The man pushed her again, at which point she pulled the trigger and he was hit in the neck. She then left, driving off in her car.

The other woman was still inside the home, police said. They say the man attacked her, choking her and hitting her body, even biting off a part of her ear.

She was taken to Mercy Hospital in good condition, police say. The man was taken to Northwestern Hospital and is in stable condition. He may also have been stabbed, police say, but that's unknown.

No charges have been filed at this point, and police aren't holding anybody in custody. Area Central detectives are investigating.
