A shooting Tuesday evening wounded three teenage boys in the Little Village neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

It happened at 5:13 p.m. in the 1900 block of South St. Louis, according to Chicago Police.

Witnesses said they heard multiple shots and saw the boys run from St. Louis to the 1900 block of South Drake, where an ambulance was called.

A 15-year-old boy was shot in his right hand and a 17-year-old boy was shot in his left hand, police said. Another 17-year-old boy suffered a graze wound to his neck. All three were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital for treatment, where they were listed in good condition.

Police said all three were being uncooperative with investigators and would only say they heard shots and felt pain.
