He was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where his condition was stabilized, police said.

At 11:37 a.m., two gunmen walked into a Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood store in the 500 block of East 75th Street, demanded cash from two men before shooting one, age 45, in the chest, and hitting the other, 43, with a blunt object, police said. The older man was stabilized at Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn; the other was taken in good condition to Jackson Park Hospital.

Just before 11 a.m., a gunman walked up to a 25-year-old man who was standing on the front porch of a West Side Humboldt Park neighborhood home in the 700 block of North Christiana and shot him in the abdomen, police said. He was stabilized at Mount Sinai Hospital.

About 9 a.m., someone tried to rob a 20-year-old man in the 800 block of East 63rd Street in Woodlawn and then shot him in the back. His condition was stabilized at Stroger Hospital, police said.
