There, officers found a conscious 63-year-old woman and an unconscious 53-year-old man, who had both been shot.

Mount Prospect Mayor Paul Hoefert, who’s related to the victim by marriage, said the man ambushed her inside a condo parking garage Monday night.

The victim, shot multiple times, was taken to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge. Police said she was awake and speaking with detectives earlier this week.

Hoefort said the woman was shot 11 times and is still in the hospital as of Thursday

Work was taken to the same hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
