A security guard and three other men were wounded in a shoot-out Monday night in University Village on the Near West Side.

The guard was shot while intervening as two men, 21 and 23, exchanged gunfire with another man, 19, in the 1000 block of West 14th Street about 10:50 p.m., Chicago police said.

The 19-year-old suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and was rushed to Stroger Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition, police said.
