CHICAGO - A person was shot while standing guard over a liquor store Sunday in Avondale on the Northwest Side.
The male was protecting a store about 10:30 p.m. at 3934 W. Diversey Avenue when gunshots rang out, according to Chicago police. He was hit in the right arm and taken in good condition to Illinois Masonic Medical Center.
