A teenager and a man were wounded in a shooting Thursday evening in the South Shore neighborhood.

The 17-year-old was shot multiple times in his body and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in serious condition, according to police.

The man, 30, was struck in his abdomen and took himself to Jackson Park Hospital, where he was in serious condition, police said. The two shooting victims did not know each other.
