Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Home Struck by Bullet in Logan Square; No Injuries Reported

Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's home in Logan Square was the unintended target of a gunshot, with a bullet discovered lodged in the side of her garage.

The incident is currently under investigation, as authorities look into who may be responsible for the gunfire.

According to a statement obtained by ABC7 Chicago, the bullet was found by someone who then alerted the police.

Joanna Klonsky, spokesperson for Lightfoot, confirmed that there was no one home at the time of the incident, ensuring that no injuries were reported.

As the investigation unfolds, details are scarce and the motive behind the shooting remains unclear, pending further insights from law enforcement.

In her communication with CBS News Chicago, Klonsky expressed the family's appreciation for the prompt response of the Chicago Police.

The former mayor's residential neighborhood of Logan Square is typically a quieter area of Chicago, making the sound of the bullet's impact unexpected.

Lightfoot, who now serves as a political analyst for CBS News Chicago, has yet to make a public statement regarding the incident.

"No one was present when the bullet got into the garage wall, and no one was injured," Klonsky told CBS News Chicago. The former mayor's connection with the public and the media, having transitioned into a role of political analysis, potentially positions her within the crosshairs of criticism, but whether this incident holds any political motivation has not been suggested by authorities.
