Swedish Hospital

An Indiana woman admitted to purchasing a Glock pistol linked to a deadly shooting at Swedish Hospital in Chicago, which resulted in a police officer's death and another's critical injury. She lied about her address and drug use during the 2024 purchase for a boyfriend legally barred from owning firearms. The ATF traced the gun to her, and a suspect in the shooting was separately charged but not connected to her in federal cases.
