At least three people were wounded in two shootings this afternoon and evening on Chicago’s Northwest Side, authorities said.
Two teens -- one a man, 19, the other a boy, 17 -- were shot on the 2300 block of North Marmora Avenue in the city’s Belmont Central neighborhood about 6:40 p.m., said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Phillip Armstrong.
The 19-year-old was shot in the arm and leg and the 17-year-old was shot in the arm, he said.
One victim was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center and the other to Our Lady of Resurrection Medical Center, both in serious-to-critical condition, said Chicago Fire Department spokesman Richard Rosado.
Details on the shooting and possible suspects were not immediately available.
In an earlier attack, a 21-year-old man was shot in the lower back and groin in a drive-by shooting on the 3700 block of West Palmer Street in the Logan Square neighborhood, Armstrong said.
The man was walking down the street near the intersection of Palmer Street and Hamlin Avenue when a pickup truck approached, someone fired four shots and the man was wounded, according to a police media notification.
The man was being treated at Illinois Masonic in serious condition, police said. Rosado said the man was not transported by a Fire Department ambulance.
Grand Central Area detectives were investigating both shooting incidents. No one was in custody in the Palmer Street shooting, and information was not immediately available about the shooting on Marmora Avenue.
