"It's been shocking," the woman told the Sun-Times in a brief interview as she headed to the airport Monday morning with her 11-year-old son. "I'm nervous."

A woman visiting from Connecticut was shot while walking with her 11-year-old son Sunday night across the street from AMC River East 21 in Streeterville, a movie theater that has raised concerns about violence and loitering.

Witnesses dining at a nearby restaurant told NBC Chicago they heard gunshots, which led to diners hitting the deck inside, with a large police presence outside.
