By Sam Charles

Two men were injured — one critically — in a drive-by shooting in the East Garfield Park neighborhood early Saturday.

About 1 a.m., the two men were standing outside in the 3600 block of West Polk when a dark-colored sedan drove by and someone inside opened fire, police said.

One man, 22, was shot in the head and taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition, police said. The other man, 23, suffered a graze wound to his left thigh and took himself to Mount Sinai Hospital. His condition was not immediately known.
