SHARE Drive-by shooter fires into group of people in the South Loop

Two people were shot Sunday morning during a drive-by attack in the South Loop.

At 1:01 a.m., a group of people was standing on a street when someone in a dark sedan shot at the crowd in the 1100 block of South Jefferson Street, according to police.

A 36-year-old man was shot in the left leg and taken to Stroger Hospital, police said. A 35-year-old woman was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital with a gunshot wound in her right leg. Both of their conditions were stabilized.

No one was in custody, and Area Central detectives were investigating.

Red and yellow crime tape closed off the Jefferson and West Roosevelt Road intersections in a business strip of the neighborhood.
