Two people were shot Sunday morning during a drive-by attack in the South Loop.

A 36-year-old man was shot in the left leg and taken to Stroger Hospital, police said. A 35-year-old woman was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital with a gunshot wound in her right leg. Both of their conditions were stabilized.
