Two teenage brothers were critically injured and a third teen grazed after they were shot in South Austin Tuesday night after attending a barbecue, according to Chicago police.
After leaving a front yard barbecue in the 5500 block of West Quincy Street about 9:30 p.m., the three — an 18-year-old and two 16-year-olds — walked west to the 200 block of South Central Avenue, when four assailants jumped out of two vehicles that had stopped directly east of them, according to a police report.
The 18-year-old was shot in his right side and his 16-year-old brother was shot several times. Both were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition.
The other 16-year-old was found by officers at the scene with a graze wound to his arm and refused medical attention, police said.
The assailants sped away north on Central and were not arrested, according to the report.
Area 4 detectives are investigating.
