Two men were shot and wounded Saturday night in Back of the Yards on the South Side.

The men, ages 32 and 22, were in a vehicle stopped at a red light in the 1600 block of West 47th Street around 8:40 p.m. when a vehicle pulled alongside and someone inside shot them, the police said.

Both suffered gunshot wounds to the leg and were taken to Stroger Hospital.
