A UPS driver was shot this morning in the Englewood neighborhood, on the city's South Side, near 65th and Hermitage. Chicago Police are on the scene.
It happened just before 10 a.m.
Investigators believe this was an attempted robbery, although they are not sure at this point if anything was taken. Detectives have been going door-to-door trying to get some information from residents.
Police say the UPS driver made a delivery to an address on Hermitage. He then pulled up to the corner of 65th and South Hermitage to do some logging when he was shot in the back. Police say that more than one person was involved and that they took off from the scene running.
By the time police arrived, the driver was laying on the ground in a grassy area. He was taken to Advocate Christ Hospital in critical condition.
The shooting happened around the corner from Harper High school, 6520 S Wood.
