A man was killed and a woman was wounded in a shooting in the Gage Park neighborhood on the South Side early Saturday.

The two were outside in the 2200 block of West 50th Street about 2:10 a.m. when a vehicle pulled up and a male got out and shot them, according to Chicago Police.

The woman, 24, was shot in the foot and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she was listed in fair condition, police said.
