The shooting happened Wednesday in Calumet Park at Cooking With Curves Signature Cookie Shop, damaging the business.

"It actually was disheartening because I have spent the last five years building this business with my bare two hands, my skills, my money and everything," said the shop's owner, Erin Thomas.
