A man was wounded in a shooting Tuesday afternoon in the Homan Square neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

The 21-year-old was walking at 4:57 p.m. in the 3600 block of East Flournoy when he heard gunfire and realized he’d been shot in his leg, according Chicago Police.

He was taken to Rush University Medical Center in good condition, police said.

A white sedan was seen driving away from the scene of the shooting at a high rate of speed, police said.

Two hours earlier, a 17-year-old boy was shot in the hip about a block away in the 700 block of South Saint Louis, police said. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in good condition.

No one was in custody as Area North detectives investigated the shootings.
