Three men were wounded in a shooting Saturday night in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side.

They were attending a funeral when someone came up to them and began shooting at 8:06 p.m. in the 7500 block of South Union, Chicago Police said.

A 53-year-old man was shot in his right thigh and a 52-year-old man was shot in his lower back, police said. Both were taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where their conditions were stabilized.

A third man, 53, suffered a gunshot wound to his right knee, but declined medical attention, police said.
