CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - Police are investigating a shooting overnight in the River North neighborhood.
The man was walking on the sidewalk in the 600 block of North State Street just before 3 a.m. when someone fired shots from a silver Dodge truck, police said.
The 21-year-old man was hit in the leg and is now at Northwestern hospital listed in good condition.
The shooting happened about a block from the Medinah Temple, where Bally’s opened a temporary casino this weekend, and there’s been a bit more pedestrian activity.
Bally's said in a statement that they are confident the shooting was not connected to the casino.
"Providing the best in state-of-the-art surveillance, we hold the highest standards in providing security and monitoring the casino's perimeter. We will continue working closely with CPD and other law enforcement agencies," a Bally's spokesperson said.
No one in custody as police continue to investigate.
