Two men were shot Saturday night in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side.

The men, ages 18 and 63, were standing in the lot of a gas station at 10:03 p.m. in the 5300 block of West Chicago when four males walked up and opened fire, according to Chicago Police.

The younger man was shot in the right foot, while the older man suffered a gunshot wound to the right forearm, police said. They were both taken to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where their conditions were stabilized.

Police said the younger man is a documented gang member.
