A 42-year-old man suffered a graze wound to the lower body and was also taken to Christ Medical Center where he was listed in good condition, according to officials.

Several bullets struck the station and officers heard the gunshots from inside, police said. Officers exited the station to help the victims.

Ald. Matthew O’Shea (19th) said the shooting was "just another act of senseless violence in our city. We ask everyone run to the police. And to have these offenders so brazen as to shoot at a police station. A woman lost her life tonight outside the 22nd District. There are no words, terribly sad."

No one is in custody as Area Two detectives investigate.
