Two men were wounded in a shooting Saturday night in the East Garfield Park neighborhood on the West Side.

The men, ages 24 and 25, were in the 3300 block of West Van Buren about 7:20 p.m. when someone walked up and opened fire, according to Chicago police.

The younger man was shot in both legs and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in good condition, police said.
