A man was critically wounded in a shooting in the South Austin neighborhood on the West Side Monday morning.

The 30-year-old was walking about 10 a.m. in the 5600 block of West Lake Street when dark colored van pulled up nearby, Chicago Police said. A male got out of the van, fired shots and got back into the van, which drove away in an unknown direction.

The 30-year-old was shot in the left shoulder and walked to the 300 block of North Central, where he was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition, police said.
