At least four men were injured as they walked overnight in a drive-by shooting in the Albany Park neighborhood, Chicago police said.
Just before 2:30 a.m. Thursday, the victims were walking in the 4200 block of Knox Avenue when a dark-colored sedan approached and someone inside opened fire. A 24-year-old man was struck in the buttocks and groin and was taken to Community First Hospital in good condition.
Another victim, 25, was shot in the buttocks and left leg was taken to the same hospital but is expected to be transferred in good condition to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, police said. A 20-year-old man who suffered a wound to his left arm and another man, 24, who was shot in the neck were also taken to Illinois Masonic, police said.
About 15 minutes before the shooting in the Albany Park neighborhood, a 58-year-old man was seriously injured in a shooting on the South Side in the West Englewood neighborhood, police said.
Around 2:10 a.m., the man was in his vehicle in the 7100 block of South Vincennes Avenue when two people fired shots as he left a gas station. The man was taken with a gunshot wound to the back to UChicago Medicine where he was listed in critical condition.
No one was detained and the police investigated.
