4 wounded in West Garfield Park shooting, including 17-year-old boy

Four people were wounded in a shooting Wednesday afternoon in the West Garfield Park neighborhood, according to Chicago police.

They were standing on a sidewalk in the 4400 block of West Jackson Boulevard when someone fired shots from a white sedan around 2 p.m., police said.

A boy, 17, was shot in the buttocks and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition, police said.

A 27-year-old man was struck in the leg and taken to Stroger Hospital, while a 32-year-old man was also taken to Mount Sinai with a gunshot wound to the buttocks, police said. He was in good condition.

A fourth person was shot in his body, police said. His age and condition were not released.

Police reported no arrests.

Hours earlier, a 16-year-old boy was shot in the head and critically wounded a few blocks away.

Over the weekend, another mass shooting wounded four people in Englewood, two of them fatally.
