15-Year-Old Shot At South Side Church

CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) ― A teenage boy was critically wounded in a shooting Tuesday night at a church that also provides shelter to girls and young women in the South Side Washington Heights neighborhood.

About 6:20 p.m. Tuesday, a 15-year-old boy was shot near West 98th and South Throop streets, police News Affairs Officer David Banks said.

Fire Media Affairs Director Larry Langford said the shooting happened in the church basement.

The nearest church is Saint Margaret of Scotland at 9837 S. Throop.
An Archdiocese of Chicago spokesman and a man answering the phone at the Saint Margaret rectory Wednesday would provide no information, while not denying a shooting had taken place at the church.

Police could provide no details Wednesday on the shooting, and an Archdiocesan spokesman refused to comment.

The church also houses Maryville's Saint Margaret of Scotland Specialty Shelter, 1209 W. 98th St., which provides emergency short-term residential care for girls and young women 13 to 21, according to its Web site.

Calumet Area detectives are investigating.
