Girl, man wounded when argument turns violent(7year old, sorry not young enough to shock Chicago please keep trying)

A 7-year-old girl was seriously wounded in the leg and a 45-year-old man was grazed in the back when a verbal argument erupted into gunfire on a West Englewood neighborhood street this afternoon.
A "person of interest" was being questioned in the shooting, which happened at about 4:40 p.m. in the 5700 block of South Hoyne Avenue, and a gun was recovered, police said.
The person being questioned was believed to be arguing with the man at that location when the person pulled out a gun and opened fire, police said. The girl, who was not the intended target, suffered what appeared to be a through-and-through wound to her thigh while the man suffered a graze wound to the back.
The child was shot in the right leg and taken to Comer Children’s Hospital in serious-to-critical condition, according to police and fire spokesmen.
The man with the graze wound to the back was not taken to a hospital, according to a fire spokesman.
Standing outside Comer Children's Hospital, community activist Andrew Holmes shook his head.
"It's senseless that (these victims) had to go through this," said Holmes, who is the director of the No Guns No Violence group.
Holmes, who had arrived at the scene shortly after the shooting, said he spoke with the girl's mom at the hospital and was told the girl had been playing outside with a friend when someone on the street fired a gun.
"The little girl started hollering," Holmes said. "She didn't know at the time that she'd been shot."
According to Holmes, the girl ran into her friend's house where they discovered that a bullet apparently had passed through her thigh. Doctors were deciding whether or not she would need surgery, Holmes said.
The information from Holmes could not immediately be confirmed directly from family members.
Demetrius Jackson, 19, said he was hanging outside with friends near 57th Street and Hoyne Avenue this afternoon when he heard gunshots ring out down the street.
"Everybody was out on the street enjoying the summertime," Jackson said. "(Then) it sounded like firecrackers."
Jackson said when he turned around he saw what looked like a fight had broken out down the street.
Police arrived shortly after and pulled yellow tape across the block, Jackson said.
About 30 minutes after the shooting, Jackson and other people from the neighborhood watched from behind the tape as police questioned neighbors.
