Man wounded by crossfire in Marquette Park shootout

A 20-year-old man was wounded when he was caught in the middle of a shoot-out Saturday in Marquette Park on the Southwest Side.

About 3:10 p.m., he was walking down the street in the 6300 block of South Albany Avenue when a white vehicle drove up and someone inside opened fire in his direction, Chicago police said. An unknown person on the street then returned fire at the vehicle, which sped off away from the area.

The 20-year-old man was struck in the leg during the shooting and taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where his condition was stabilized, police said.

A short time later, an 18-year-old man showed up at Holy Cross Hospital in a white vehicle that had body damage from gunshots, police said. He was treated for a gunshot wound to the right leg, stabilized and is being transferred to Mt. Sinai Hospital.

Area Central detectives are investigating.
