About 3:30 p.m., the victims, ages 32 and 27, were standing on the corner of Chicago and Lockwood avenues when a white Dodge Caravan drove by and someone inside opened fire, Chicago Police said.

The 32-year-old was shot in the leg and was taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition, police said. The 27-year-old was shot in the left knee and was taken to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, where his condition was stabilized.
