At least four men were wounded in a drive-by shooting overnight as they were walking in the Albany Park neighborhood, Chicago police said.
Shortly before 2:30 a.m. Thursday, the victims were walking in the 4200 block of Knox Avenue when a dark colored sedan approached and someone inside opened fire. A 24-year-old man was struck to the buttocks and groin area, and was driven to Community First Hospital in good condition.
Another victim, 25, was shot to the buttocks and left leg was taken to the same hospital but expected to be transferred in good condition to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, police said. A 20-year-old man who suffered a graze wound to the left arm, and another man, 24, was grazed by gunfire to the neck also was taken to Illinois Masonic, police said.
About 15 minutes before the Albany Park neighborhood shooting, a 58-year-old man was left critically wounded in a shooting on the South Side in the West Englewood neighborhood, police said.
Around 2;10 a.m., the man was in his vehicle in the 7100 block of South Vincennes Avenue when two people fired shots as he left a gas station. The man was taken with a gunshot wound to the back to UChicago Medicine where he was listed in critical condition.
No one was in custody and detectives were investigating.
