Neither of the children were struck by the gunfire but the 1-year-old was transported to Stroger Hospital as a precaution due to shattered glass in the vehicle, officials said.

The Maxima was seen fleeing westbound on the I-290 expressway.

No one is in custody as Area Four detectives investigate.
