A 16-year-old boy was among three people wounded in a shooting Friday evening in the South Side Englewood neighborhood.

He was riding a bike at 7:37 p.m. in the 7200 block of South Green when he got in an argument with someone who took out a gun and shot him, according to Chicago Police.

A 23-year-old man and another male, whose age was unknown, came to help the boy when the shooter fired additional shots from a half-block away, police said.
