CHICAGO — Someone fired a gun into an ambulance while paramedics inside were treating a patient in the Englewood neighborhood, but no one was hit according to police and fire officials.
Paramedics were sent to the 5600 block of South Bishop Street around 5:35 p.m. Sunday for a traffic crash.
But when they got there, they found an ambulance with its driver’s side front window shattered, said Will Knight, a spokesman for the Chicago Fire Department.

The shooting happened as two paramedics inside the ambulance were treating a person suffering from shortness of breath, Knight said.
No one was reported in custody.
