(WBBM NEWSRADIO) – Authorities have released surveillance images of a “person of interest” in the recent shooting of a postal carrier, and they’ve increased the potential reward to find the armed robbers who attacked the worker.
The mail carrier was shot Aug. 1 in the 3200 block of North Kildare on Chicago’s Northwest Side during a robbery, officials have said. Shortly after this incident, another mail carrier was robbed in the 1800 block of North Sawyer, with no injuries reported.
