Four of the seven people shot Monday were teenagers wounded in separate incidents throughout the day.

Most recently, a teenage boy was shot in Brighton Park on the Southwest Side.

The teen, 16, was walking on a sidewalk about 8:30 p.m. in the 2500 block of West 42nd Street when he heard shots and felt pain, police said.

He suffered gunshot wounds to the feet and he took himself to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was listed in good condition, police said.

Another 16-year-old boy was shot earlier in Marquette Park on the Southwest Side.

He was on the sidewalk about 6:48 p.m. in the 6500 block of South Francisco Avenue when someone approached him and opened fire, police said.

The teen was hit in the abdomen and took himself to Holy Cross Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition, police said. He will be transferred to Mount Sinai Hospital.

Earlier in the afternoon, a 17-year-old boy was shot in his face near the Bloomingdale Trail between the Logan Square and Humboldt Park neighborhoods on the Northwest Side.

The teen was standing on the front porch of a home about 12:30 p.m. in the 1800 block of North Drake Avenue when he heard gunfire and was shot in his nose, Chicago police said.

Unconfirmed radio traffic indicated the shooter or shooters were on the Bloomingdale Trail.

Paramedics took the boy to Mt. Sinai Hospital in serious condition, police said. A fire department official said his condition was stabilized.

The first shooting of the day wounded another 17-year-old boy in Englewood.

The teen was standing in an empty lot about 9:50 a.m. in the 7200 block of South Green Street when he heard gunfire and realized he was shot, Chicago police said. He was struck in the legs and back and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition.

In other non-fatal shootings, a man was wounded in Burnside on the South Side.

The 36-year-old was standing on the sidewalk about 5:14 p.m. in the 700 block of East 92nd Place when two unknown males emerged from a gangway, police said.

One of the males fired shots, striking the man in the abdomen, police said. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was listed in good condition.

Late Monday morning, a 21-year-old man was shot in Marquette Park on the Southwest Side.

He was with a group of people about 11:45 a.m. in the 2400 block of West Lithuanian Plaza Court when two people drove up in a black SUV, stepped out and fired shots, police said.

The man was struck in the back of his shoulder and taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, police said. His condition stabilized.

Monday’s shootings follow a weekend in which 38 people were shot in Chicago — five of them fatally.
