Two men were shot Tuesday afternoon in the West Side Austin neighborhood.

At 4:51 p.m., the men heard shots and felt pain in the 1100 block of North Lavergne, according to Chicago Police. Neither man saw who opened fire.

A 26-year-old was shot in the back and a 34-year-old was shot in the buttocks, police said. Both men were taken to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, where their conditions stabilized.
