A man was wounded in a shooting early Sunday in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the South Side.

At 12:08 a.m., the 31-year-old was standing in a lot about in the 5400 block of South Damen when he heard shots and realized he’d been hit in the right ankle, according to Chicago Police.

He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital, where his condition was stabilized, police said.
