Three people were wounded, two of them critically, in a shooting Saturday morning in the West Garfield Park neighborhood on the West Side.

The two men, ages 18 and 23, and a 56-year-old woman were in a vehicle in traffic at 6:27 a.m. in the 4000 block of West Van Buren when a male in another vehicle opened fire, according to Chicago Police. The three victims then got out of their vehicle and got onto a CTA bus, which took them to Madison and Pulaski until police arrived.

The 23-year-old man suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his face and body while the 18-year-old man was shot in the back, police said. The woman was shot in the left arm.

All three of them were taken to Stroger Hospital, where the men were in critical condition and the woman’s condition was stabilized, police said.
