About 11:25 p.m., a 43-year-old man was near his home in the 4700 block of West Wrightwood when he began arguing with three men he knew, Chicago police said.

When the men started attacking him, the 43-year-old fired a handgun at the other men, police said.

One man, 29, was shot five times in the torso and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, along with a 55-year-old shot in the neck. Another man, 22, was shot in the chest and taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center.

The 43-year-old shooter, who is a concealed carry license holder, suffered trauma to his head and body and was taken to Mount Sinai, police said.
