A 30-year-old man was shot early Saturday in the Fernwood neighborhood on the Far South Side.

About 12:30 a.m., the man was inside a vehicle in the 10100 block of South State Street when he began to struggle with a male who shot in him in the right thigh, according to Chicago Police.

He was taken to Roseland Community Hospital where his condition was stabilized, police said.

The victim is a documented gang member, police said.
