Two men were wounded in an Englewood neighborhood drive-by shooting Thursday afternoon on the South Side.

The men, ages 21 and 25, were standing on the sidewalk at 5:32 p.m. in the 700 block of West 65th Street when a gray vehicle drove by and someone inside opened fire, according to Chicago Police.

Both men were shot in the left leg, police said. The younger man was taken to Stroger Hospital, where his condition was stabilized, while the older man was taken in good condition to St. Bernard Hospital.
