He was taken by the driver to Mount Sinai Hospital, where his condition was stabilized, police said.

A little over an hour earlier, a 35-year-old man was driving southbound about two miles away just before midnight in the 5200 block of South Halsted, when he was shot multiple times throughout his body, police said.

He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was in serious condition, police said.

About 12:30 a.m., a woman, 26, was a passenger in a vehicle traveling in the 600 block of West Garfield Boulevard when she was shot in her ankle, police said.

She was taken to the University of Chicago, where she was in good condition, police said.
