A man was shot in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side Sunday evening.

A 22-year-old man was waking in the 5600 block of West Chicago Avenue at 6:53 p.m. when he heard shots and felt pain, police said.

However, the man has given investigators varying accounts of how he was shot, police said.

He suffered a gunshot wound to the left thigh, and took himself to Mount Sinai Hospital in good condition, police said.

The man is a documented gang member.
