A 15-year-old boy was shot Saturday night in the West Pullman neighborhood on the Far South Side.

He told investigators he was walking about 10:20 p.m. eastbound in the 11700 block of South Justine when he heard three to four shots and realized he was struck in the left leg, according to Chicago Police.

The boy later showed up at Roseland Community Hospital, where his condition was stabilized, police said.
