A woman from Indiana has been charged by federal authorities in connection with a shooting at a Swedish Hospital in Chicago. According to prosecutors, the woman purchased a gun that was used in the incident.

The suspect, whose name has not been released, allegedly pulled the gun from under a blanket during the shooting, which resulted in the death of one police officer and injured another. The suspect is also believed to have a lengthy criminal history.

Prosecutors claim that the suspect illegally bought the gun, which was then hidden under the hospital blanket before the shooting occurred. Authorities are alleging that this action was part of a larger scheme.

The suspect’s prior record includes multiple instances of crime, with some reports suggesting they may have been involved in violent or threatening behavior in the past. However, no further details on these incidents have been made public.

The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, and authorities are continuing to gather evidence. The suspect remains in custody pending further proceedings.
