The teen was shot in the buttocks and went to Weiss Memorial Hospital in good condition. Two men, 19 and 26, were also struck in the buttocks and were taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center in serious condition. A 31-year-old was struck in the shoulder and also went to Weiss Memorial Hospital in good condition.
  • About 9:50 p.m, in Marquette Park, a 27-year-old man was shot when someone walked up to him in the 6400 block of South Kedzie Avenue, yelled a gang slogan and fired, Chicago police said. He was struck in the chest, twice in the shoulder and once in the armpit. He was taken to Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, where his condition was stabilized.
  • Around 7 p.m. in West Englewood, two men were wounded in a drive-by shooting in the 5600 block of South Racine Avenue, police said.
