A man and a teenage boy were wounded in a drive-by shooting Thursday evening in the Little Village neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

The 38-year-old man and 14-year-old boy were walking outside at 8:34 p.m. in the 3000 block of West 25th Street when a red vehicle drove up and someone inside fired shots, according to Chicago Police.

The man was shot in the abdomen and leg, and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where his condition was stabilized, police said. The boy took himself to Stroger Hospital, where he was listed in serious condition.

A short time later, officers spotted the vehicle and took two male suspects into custody, police said. Charges were pending Friday morning.
