Two men were wounded, one of them critically, in a shooting Saturday afternoon in the South Deering neighborhood on the Far South Side.

They were shot about 12:20 a.m. in the 10000 block of South Bensley, police said. A 24-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to his left buttock, while a 25-year-old was shot in the right leg.

They were both taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where the younger man was listed in critical condition and the older man was in good condition, police said.
