A man was seriously wounded in a shooting Friday evening in the West Pullman neighborhood on the Far South Side.

The 18-year-old was walking with another male about 5:55 p.m. in the 12300 block of South Wallace when two other males came up to them and began shooting, Chicago Police said.

The 18-year-old was shot in his abdomen and right leg and took himself to MetroSouth Medical Center in Blue Island, where he was listed in serious condition, police said. He was later transferred to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
