Nicole Polk was playing on the front porch of her West Garfield Park home when the 8-year-old felt a sharp pain in her abdomen She made it to the door and knocked to be let in. It turned out she had been shot, possibly by a stray bullet "She didn't hear anything, she didn't even know she was shot. All she kept saying was my stomach hurts" said Nicole's sister Norita Polk.

The youngest of eight siblings, Nicole was looking forward to starting 2nd grade next week "This is unbelievable instead of getting ready for school, she's in the hospital recovering." Police said they had no leads, no description of a suspect and no reports of any other shooting or violent incidents near where the girl was shot. Police are asking anyone with information to come forward.
