Two men were shot Saturday night in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the South Side.

They were standing outside about 7:15 p.m. when a group of people got out of a dark-colored Jeep and fired shots at them in the 4800 block of South Loomis, Chicago Police said.

A 19-year-old man was shot in his left arm and a 23-year-old man suffered gunshot wounds to his legs and abdomen, police said. Both were taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition.
