Bail was set at $1 million Sunday for two men who remained hospitalized after being wounded last week in separate police shootings as they allegedly grabbed for guns.

Jayden Higgs, 23, of Hazel Crest, was shot in the head late Thursday after struggling with an officer responding to gunfire in Back of the Yards, prosecutors said during his initial court hearing. Before being shot, Higgs allegedly struggled with an officer while trying to pull a handgun with an extended magazine from his waistband.
