A man was shot and critically wounded late Tuesday in the East Garfield Park neighborhood on the West Side.

At 10:42 p.m., the 34-year-old was in the parking lot of a school in the 3600 block of West Fifth Avenue when another male walked up and fired shots, striking him in the abdomen and left thigh, according to Chicago Police.
