A 16-year-old boy was shot and an 11-year-old girl grazed Tuesday afternoon in West Pullman on the Far South Side.

The two were on the sidewalk in the 12200 block of South Lowe Avenue about 4:15 p.m. when a dark-colored car pulled up and someone inside opened fire, Chicago police said.

The teen was struck in the right arm, and the girl was grazed in the back, police said.

Chicago fire spokesperson Larry Merritt initially said the boy was transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center in serious condition.

Police later said that both the teen and girl were taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, where they were reportedly in good condition.

Area Two detectives are investigating.

Hours earlier, a 15-year-old boy was fatally shot in Noble Square, and two teens were shot in Englewood.
