The 29-year-old was struck in the chest and face, and was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition, police said. The younger man was struck in the right shoulder and taken to the hospital in fair condition.

On Wednesday afternoon, at least four bystanders were wounded, one critically, in a shooting in West Town. A fifth person, police believe to be a possible suspect, was also shot.

Three young teens were wounded, one of them critically, in a shooting Wednesday night in Morgan Park on the Far South Side.
