Two men were shot Monday evening in front of a Marquette Park neighborhood home on the Southwest Side.

The two men, ages 37 and 33, were in front of a home about 8:40 p.m. in the 2500 block of West Lithuanian Plaza Court when someone fired shots from a dark-colored SUV, according to Chicago Police.

The older man was in good condition with a gunshot wound to the foot, and the younger man was in serious condition with gunshot wounds to the back and hip, police said.
