A 17-year-old boy was shot while driving on the border of the West Englewood and Back of the Yards neighborhoods Monday afternoon on the South Side.

About 1:30 p.m., he was at a stop sign in the 1500 block of West Garfield when another vehicle pulled up and someone fired at him, according to Chicago Police.

A bullet grazed the boy’s shoulder. He was taken to St. Bernard Hospital, where his condition was stabilized, police said.
