A woman was grazed by a bullet in Lakeview Sunday, marking the third shooting in the North Side neighborhood in less than a week.

Thursday as she walked down the sidewalk with her family in 3100 block of North Broadway. The shots were just inches away from hitting a little boy in a stroller. She suffered a gunshot wound to her upper thigh and was transferred to a nearby hospital in good condition, police said.Friday, 44th Ward Alderman Tom Tunney issued a statement about the recent string of shootings, saying in part,"As it has been for several years, crime remains my number one priority.

"The South and West Side has been putting up with this for way too long," said Maureen Martino, executive director of the Lakeview East Chamber."The North Side needs to step up and they need to be vocal. We all need to come as a city together and stop this.""Tragically, in the past week, the 44th Ward has experienced two shootings. On Sunday night, Hermilo Beltran, was killed behind 3458 N Clark.

"While shootings in the 44th Ward are rare, violence has been brought to our neighborhoods too often in the last few years. As I have stated numerous times both publicly and privately to the leadership of the Chicago Police Department, this is unacceptable. As it has been for several years, crime remains my number one priority. I have repeatedly called for more police presence in Lakeview and I find it unacceptable that our 19th Police District staffing numbers are so low.
