A man was shot early Thursday in the Marquette Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

The 41-year-old had just entered his parked vehicle about 3:35 a.m. in the 6300 block of South Artesian when two males walked up and opened fire, according to Chicago Police.

The man suffered a gunshot wound to the right leg and a graze wound to the right hand, police said. He was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where his condition was stabilized.
