They were standing outside at 10:54 p.m. in the 6900 block of South Woodlawn when a minivan drove up and someone inside fired shots, according to Chicago Police. The minivan then drove off in an unknown direction.

A 36-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the back and the other man, 37, suffered gunshot wounds to the torso, pelvis and both arms, police said. They were both taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition.
