Two people were wounded in a shooting Saturday morning in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side.

A 16-year-old boy and a 31-year-old man were standing on the sidewalk about 2:20 a.m. in the 5200 block of West Congress when they heard shots and felt pain, according to Chicago police.

The boy was shot in his left leg and the man was shot in his back, police said. They were both taken to Loretto Hospital, where their conditions had stabilized.

Area North detectives were investigating the shooting.
