Police: Man killed woman, then himself on Chicago Skyway
CHICAGO — Authorities say a man gunned down a woman during an argument early Wednesday on a major Chicago expressway before he shot and killed himself.
The shooting forced police to close part of the Chicago Skyway, which connects Chicago and Indiana, for about five hours.
Christopher M. Pena, 30, of Chicago and Lisa Fisher, 49, of Broadview, were travelling on the Skyway around 4:15 a.m.
Police said the car Pena was driving had just passed slowly by a tollbooth when Fisher jumped out and tried to get away. Witnesses told investigators the two were shouting at each other shortly before the shooting.
