Four people were shot Tuesday night in the West Englewood neighborhood on the South Side.

Two men and two women were standing in front of a restaurant about 10:10 p.m. in the 6800 block of South Ashland when a group of people walked out of a vacant lot nearby and fired shots at them, according to Chicago Police.
