Three men were wounded, one of them critically, in a drive-by attack Tuesday evening in the West Pullman neighborhood on the Far South Side.

The men were sitting in a vehicle about 6:40 p.m. in the 300 block of West 120th Street when another vehicle pulled up and someone inside opened fire, according to Chicago police.

A 19-year-old man was shot in the arm, a 26-year-old man was struck multiple times in his body and a 39-year-old man suffered a graze wound to his hand, police said.

The 39-year-old refused medical treatment at the scene, police said.
