Original Story

Police say a woman was shot in the face while playing Pokémon Go over the weekend.

Peoria police say the 63-year-old woman was parked at the Peoria City Complex at approximately 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, when she was approached by three men who wanted her to get out of her car.

The woman was shot in the face after she refused to do so. The woman, however, was reportedly able to drive herself to safety, and called 911.

So far, police have not been able to talk to the woman, due to her injuries.

According to avid players of Pokémon Go, the area is a hot bed for the game, and the woman was presumably playing the game at the parking lot when the shooting occurred.

People were shaken after learning what happened.

"We really don't have that much known crime in the area, so this is very scary," said one person.
