Two men were shot Thursday afternoon in the Uptown neighborhood on the North Side.

About 4:30 p.m., the two were standing in a parking lot in the 4500 block of North Magnolia when someone fired shots at them from a dark-colored vehicle, according to Chicago Police.

A 19-year-old man suffered gunshot wounds to his leg and groin and was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center in critical condition, police said. A 21-year-old man was shot in the buttocks and was also taken to Illinois Masonic, where his condition had stabilized.
