A 14-year-old Chicago girl was asked what gang she belonged to before three gunmen chased her Wednesday night and shot in the head.

The girl was walking her dog around 6 p.m., on her way home from a store with her boyfriend when she was confronted by the trio in Chicago’s Southside.

They asked her what gang she was affiliated with. When she said she wasn’t, they chased her and opened fire, the Chicago Sun-Times reported, citing Ald. Raymond Lopez. The girl was struck in the head and taken to the Comer Children’s Hospital.

She remains in critical condition, the Chicago Police Department said. No arrests have been made. 

Lopez told the newspaper the suspects are believed to be ages 15 or younger and part of a new gang that has been recruiting from the surrounding neighborhood.

“This elevation of gang life has to come to an end. It’s not cute. It only comes to one outcome, what we saw last night,” he said.
