Two men were wounded, one of them critically, in a shooting Tuesday afternoon in the Fernwood neighborhood on the South Side.
The men, ages 26 and 30, were standing about 4:20 p.m. on a sidewalk in the 10000 block of South Perry when they heard gunfire and realized they’d been shot, according to Chicago police. The older man suffered gunshot wounds to his lower back and left thigh, while the younger man was struck in his buttocks.
Both men were taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where the older man was in critical condition and the younger man’s condition was stabilized, police said.
Area South detectives were investigating.
