Three men were wounded in a shooting Wednesday night in the West Side Austin neighborhood.

They were standing in front of a home about 7:35 p.m. in the 4900 block of West Augusta when a male walked up to them and fired shots, Chicago Police said.

A 37-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to his face and was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition, police said. A 51-year-old man was also taken to Stroger with a gunshot wound to the knee and his condition was stabilized.

A 65-year-old man’s abdomen was grazed by a bullet. He declined to be taken to a hospital for treatment.
