A man was wounded in a West Garfield Park neighborhood drive-by shooting early Monday on the West Side.

The 32-year-old was riding his bike about 5:20 a.m. in the 4100 block of West Jackson when a green van pulled up and two people inside opened fire, according to Chicago Police. The van then sped away eastbound.

He suffered gunshot wounds to both legs and was taken in good condition to Stroger Hospital, police said.
