A 35-year-old woman who was eight months pregnant was fatally shot in the back early Tuesday on the Far South Side, but doctors were able to deliver her baby at the hospital, according to Chicago police.
Five minutes past midnight, officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert in the 2100 block of East 95th Place in the Jeffery Manor neighborhood, police said. They found a woman lying on a porch, unresponsive.
She was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition, police said. She was pronounced dead at 1 a.m. and doctors delivered her child.
The woman was identified as Stacy Jones, 35, who was injured on the same block where she lived, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Chicago doctors get a lot of practice with GSW victims. The army sends trauma surgeons to Chicago to get training in civilian hospitals because of the frequency of gunshot wounds.
