Two men were wounded Friday afternoon in an East Garfield Park neighborhood drive-by shooting on the West Side.

The men, ages 21 and 23, were in a vehicle at 3:39 p.m. in the 400 block of North Harding when another vehicle pulled up and someone inside opened fire, according to Chicago Police. The younger man was shot in his back, and the older man suffered a gunshot wound to his shoulder.

Both were taken to Stroger Hospital, where they were listed in fair condition, police said.
