Two people were killed and six others were wounded in shootings in Chicago Tuesday.
- A 3-year-old boy was shot on the side of his face in the West Garfield Park neighborhood around 8:30 a.m., according to Chicago police. A gunman pulled up in a white SUV and fired shots into a car occupied by the child and a woman in the 4500 block of West Congress Parkway. The woman drove the child to Stroger Hospital, where he was listed in good condition. A family member said the boy underwent surgery to remove a bullet lodged in his temple.

A witness heard arguing followed by shots inside the residence in the 4900 block of South Marshfield Avenue about 7:10 a.m., police said. Officers found three people with gunshot wounds. Two were pronounced dead at the scene. The third, a 28-year-old man, was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition with gunshot wounds to his chest, shoulder and back.
