Two teenage men were wounded in a drive-by shooting Friday night in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the South Side.

One was shot in the lower back and taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where his condition was stabilized, police said.

The other was taken to St. Bernard Hospital with a graze wound in his leg, police said. He was in good condition.
