A CPD squad car and a CFD ambulance crashed into each other Oct. 19, 2019 while responding to a shooting in East Garfield Park on the West Side.

An 18-year old man was wounded in a shooting Thursday afternoon in the Northwest Side Avondale neighborhood.

About 4:05 p.m., the victim was standing in the 3300 block of North Ridgeway when a light-colored car drove up and someone inside fired shots, according to preliminary information provided by Chicago Police.

He was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the right arm and armpit, police said. His condition was stabilized.
