GARY — A bullet grazed the head of a 25-year-old woman late Tuesday as she sat in a parked car on the city’s West Side, police said.

Gary police responded about 11:55 p.m. to Methodist Hospitals Northlake Campus for a report of a gunshot victim.

The Gary woman told police she was in her car between 11:45 and 11:50 p.m. at the gas station at 15th Avenue and Chase Street when she heard two men arguing, Lt. Dawn Westerfield said.

The woman ignored the men, because she wasn’t involved, but then heard a number of gunshots. The woman and several other drivers fled the gas station when the shots rang out, Westerfield said.

The woman then realized she was wounded and drove herself to the hospital.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Sgt. William Fazekas at (219) 881-1210. to remain anonymous, call (866) CRIME-GP.
