He was taken to Norwegian American Hospital, where his condition was stabilized, police said.

A 40-year-old man was wounded about an hour earlier in a shooting in the South Side Englewood neighborhood.

A teenage boy was wounded in a drive-by shooting earlier in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood on the South Side.

The 17-year-old was in an alley at 1:05 p.m. in the 5900 block of South Campbell when a dark-colored vehicle drove by and someone inside fired at him, police said.
