A 17-year-old boy was wounded in an East Garfield Park neighborhood drive-by shooting early Sunday on the West Side.

He was outside about 1:20 a.m. in the 2700 block of West Polk when someone opened fire from a silver or gray Dodge Charger, according to Chicago Police.

The boy was shot multiple times and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where his condition was stabilized, police said.

The attack was one of three shootings in the same neighborhood within 20 minutes each other, with a man wounded 10 minutes earlier and another man killed 10 minutes later.
