A 13-year-old girl was shot on the side of the head with a BB gun Friday evening by other kids.

Police said the girl was picking up her little brother from the Fleetwood-Jourdain Community Center in the 1600 block of Foster Street at about 5:30 p.m. when unidentified kids shot her twice on the side of the head with a BB gun, said Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan.

The girl was taken to Evanston Hospital by ambulance to treat her head, which was bleeding, Dugan said.

Man arrested for beating up neighbor

A 35-year-old man was arrested early Sunday morning in connection with beating up his neighbor.

The man attacked his 44-year-old neighbor at about 4 a.m. in their apartment building in the 800 block of Ridge Avenue, hitting him on the back of the head, Dugan said. Police said the man was angry after his girlfriend went to their neighbor’s apartment following a dispute they had.

The neighbor’s friend, who also lives in the building, pulled the attacker off his friend until police arrived and took the attacker into custody, Dugan said. The 44-year-old man had a cut on his head and a scraped knee.

The younger man was charged with a misdemeanor for battery. He is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 19.
