DOWNTOWN — A 19-year-old woman was shot near the Macy’s on State Street as several holiday events were wrapping up Saturday, according to authorities.

The woman was walking with a group on the sidewalk of the first block of Washington Street just before 9 p.m. Saturday when a man fired shots in their direction, police said. She was hit in the right leg and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in fair condition.

The shooting occurred after the annual Magnificent Mile Lights Festival and Parade ended a few blocks north. The event includes a parade along Michigan Avenue before a fireworks show on the Chicago River, which began Saturday at 7:15 p.m.

The attack also occurred during the first weekend of Christkindlmarket, the Christmas-themed event that takes over Daley Plaza just west of Macy’s. The market closes at 9 p.m. on Saturday, right around the time the Washington Street shooting occurred.

According to CBS Chicago, whose studio is next to Daley Plaza, people in Christkindlmarket took cover when the shots rang out. Others ducked into businesses or doorways to take cover, the station reported.

A second person was hospitalized after the shooting for a medical emergency that was likely a panic attack, CBS 2 reported.
