An argument escalated into a gunfight early Tuesday when an intruder opened fire inside a Washington Park neighborhood home and a man returned fire.
Around 5:10 a.m., a woman and a man, both 26, were inside a home in the 6200 block of South King Drive when someone they knew forced their way inside, Chicago police said.
After an argument, the home invader opened fire and the man — who has a valid firearm owner’s identification card and concealed carry license — returned fire, police said.
The woman was shot in the right thigh and she was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center where she was in good condition, officials said.
No other injuries were reported and the intruder fled and was not in custody.
Area 2 detectives are investigating.
