CHICAGO - A man and a woman are facing charges in connection with a violent home invasion that critically wounded an elderly man near O'Hare Airport.

Mansfield Wallace, 51, and Tabitha Hemphill, 31, knocked on the door of a residence Monday morning in the 8500 block of West Catherine Avenue, police said.

When an 80-year-old man opened the door, they forced their way inside and began fighting with the victim, according to police.

The man, who is a FOID cardholder, fired a single shot, striking Wallace in the chest, police said.
