A 16-year-old boy was shot Friday night while sitting on a porch in the South Side Back of the Yards neighborhood.

The teenager was on the porch about 10:50 p.m. when someone in a dark car opened fire in the 5200 block of South Winchester, Chicago Police said.

He was treated for a gunshot wound to the left knee at Stroger Hospital, and his condition stabilized.
