Two women were wounded, one of them seriously, in a shooting Wednesday afternoon in the West Garfield Park neighborhood.

They were in a car stopped at a red light on Harrison Street at Cicero Avenue about 1:20 p.m. when another car pulled up alongside and someone inside fired shots at their car, Chicago police said in a statement.

The women’s car pulled forward east from the light and crashed into a parked car in the 4700 block of West Harrison, police said.

A 24-year-old woman was shot in her face and taken to Stroger Hospital, police said. She was listed in serious condition.
