CHICAGO - CHIRAQ - A Japanese airline worker was shot in the ankle on the Magnificent Mile over the weekend, possibly by someone using an air gun, according to police and the airline.
He’d spent the evening having dinner and attending the Blues Fest with co-workers and they were walking back to the hotel in the early morning hours of Saturday when it happened, said ANA, All Nippon Airways spokeswoman Nao Gunji.
“He heard something like a dry, light, bang-bang sound,’’ Gunji said. “It sounded like a gunshot but he couldn’t tell...it didn’t sound like real gunfire.’’Immediately after that he felt pain in his ankle. When he checked it, he saw blood on his ankle, and a hole and some minor damage to his trousers, she said.
