Two men were wounded Tuesday evening in a Humboldt Park neighborhood drive-by shooting on the West Side.

The men — ages 36 and 30 — were shot about 7:30 p.m. when a black vehicle drove by and someone inside opened fire in the 2900 block of West Augusta Boulevard, Chicago Police said.

The older man was shot in his right forearm and the younger man was struck in his right calf and left ankle, police said. Both men took themselves to Norwegian American Hospital, where their conditions were stabilized.
