Two men were shot in the East Garfield Park neighborhood Thursday night on the West Side.

About 9:15 p.m., they were in a car in the 3800 block of West Jackson when a group of people outside opened fire, according to Chicago Police.

One man, 19, was shot in the leg and arm, and the other, 31, suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was grazed in the arm. They were taken to Stroger Hospital, where their conditions were stabilized, police said.

It was the third shooting of the day in the neighborhood. A man was shot three blocks east about 9:20 a.m., and two men were wounded in another shooting about 2:45 p.m.
