A 67-year-old woman was killed in a shooting on the Dan Ryan Expressway Tuesday night, officials said.

       Illinois State Police troopers responded to reports of an expressway shooting on the Dan Ryan near 63rd Street about 10 p.m. One person was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. She was pronounced dead at the hospital, Genelle Jones, an Illinois State Police spokesperson said in an email.

       She was identified as Denise Huguelet, 67, of Orland Park, according to information from the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

       Huguelet was a special education teacher at Central Middle School for 24 years, according to a post on the Evergreen Park Elementary School District’s Facebook page.

       “Mrs. Huguelet’s nature with kids was kind, yet firm, to ensure that students were taught the independent skills they needed to be successful in their futures,” the District wrote on Facebook. “She cared deeply about the academic needs of students, and the social and emotional well-being of every students’ needs.”

       “She was an incredible woman whose memory will always be with us,” the District wrote.

       State police did not say whether anyone has been arrested in connection with the shooting.
