Three men were hurt in a drive-by shooting Monday afternoon in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side.

The men were standing outside in the 1200 block of North Keeler at 1:39 p.m. when a burgundy van drove past and someone inside fired shots, according to Chicago Police.

A 24-year-old man was shot in the left leg and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, police said. A 34-year-old man was shot in the buttocks and taken to Stroger Hospital, and a 58-year-old man was shot in the lower back and also taken to Stroger. All three of their conditions had stabilized.

Police said the two younger victims are gang members. The van took off eastbound after the shooting.
