A man was wounded in a drive-by shooting in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood Wednesday night.

About 7 p.m., the 21-year-old was in the 7100 block of South King Drive when a red Ford Escort drove by and someone in the vehicle shot him in the left arm and right leg, police said. The two people in the car were both wearing ski masks.

The man was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where his condition had stabilized, police said.
