15. "Police said the young woman was not the intended target"

That's in https://abc7chicago.com/post/chicago-shooting-woman-18-shot-killed-walking-friends-loyola-university-police-say/18734271/

Slightly odd to say that when the motive is unclear. But it implies they didn't think it was truly random - the shooter must have done something to make people think he was targeting one or more other people.
