Two men were wounded in a Woodlawn neighborhood drive-by shooting Saturday night on the South Side.

The men, ages 18 and 20, were standing outside at 9:44 p.m. in the 6600 block of South Vernon when a black vehicle drove past and someone inside fired shots, according to Chicago Police.

The 18-year-old was shot in the right leg and was taken in good condition to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, police said. The older man suffered gunshot wounds to both feet and was taken in good condition to the University of Chicago Medical Center.

A police source said the shooting appears to be gang-related.
