A man and a teenage boy were both injured in a Bronzeville neighborhood shooting Saturday night on the South Side.

The pair were standing in an alley in the 4600 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue about 9:55 p.m. when another male walked up and fired shots, according to Chicago Police.

The 18-year-old man was shot in the back and taken in serious condition to Stroger Hospital, police said. The 17-year-old boy suffered a gunshot wound to the left foot and took himself to Mercy Hospital and Medical Center, where his condition was stabilized.
