Woman shot and killed at funeral procession in south Chicago suburb

DIXMOOR, Ill. (CBS) — A woman was shot and killed Saturday while attending a funeral procession in south suburban Dixmoor.

Turner's shoe was also left at the scene.

Police said the shooting appeared to be isolated.

Dixmoor police are investigating along with Illinois State Police. Late Saturday, police were still trying to figure out who fired the shots and how the chain of events came about.
