   It's ok, she was Mexican.  No harm no foul.   
      
   A woman was fatally shot in the chest when a gun accidentally   
   discharged while she and another worker sorted through donated   
   clothing in a thrift store in the Brainerd neighborhood on the   
   Far South Side, authorities said.   
      
   Carmen Dominguez, 54, was shot shortly before 10 a.m. at the   
   Unique Thrift store in the 9300 block of South Ashland Avenue,   
   police said.   
      
   The co-worker told police he discovered a sock with something in   
   it and emptied the sock into his hand, according to a police   
   statement.  A .22-caliber handgun slipped out of the sock and   
   accidentally discharged in his hand, striking Dominguez in the   
   chest, police said.   
      
   Dominguez was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak   
   Lawn, where she was pronounced dead at 10:27 a.m., according to   
   police and the Cook County medical examiner's office.   
      
   "Preliminary indications during the course of the investigation   
   are that this is a tragic, accidental incident," police said in   
   the statement.   
      
   Dominguez lived in the 6700 block of South 79th Street in   
   Bridgeview, according to the medical examiner's office.
