Two men shot in Humboldt Park

By Francesca Gattuso

Two men were shot Tuesday evening in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the West Side.

Just before 6 p.m., they were walking in the 1400 block of North Homan when they heard shots and took cover, Chicago Police said.

A 20-year-old man then realized he’d been shot in the leg, and he was taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition, police said, along with an 18-year-old victim in fair condition with a gunshot wound to the back.
