Around 4 p.m. Saturday, a 16-year-old boy was shot in his arm in the 3700 block of West Augusta Boulevard, said Officer Veejay Zala, a Chicago Police Department spokesman. The boy was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, but his condition was unknown.

At 1:25 p.m. Saturday, a boy was shot in his arm in the 2100 block of West 69th Place, Zala said. Police did not know the boy's age or condition.

About 11:45 p.m. Friday, a 25-year-old man was shot multiple times in the 2300 block of West Fullerton Avenue in Bucktown, said Officer Michael Sullivan, a Police Department spokesman.
