CHICAGO — One man is in critical condition and another man was hospitalized after two shootings on the South Side Monday night, police said.

About 11 p.m., a 33-year-old man was critically injured in the Calumet Heights neighborhood.

Police responded to a call in the 9200 block of South Stony Island Avenue and found the 33-year-old on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound in his neck, said Officer Hector Alfaro, a Chicago Police Department spokesman.

The man was rushed in critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Alfaro said.

No one was in custody for the shooting Tuesday morning.

Earlier Monday night, another man was injured in a shooting in West Englewood.

About 8:35 p.m., a 25-year-old man was shot in an alley near the 2000 block of West 63rd Street.

The man told police he was walking through the alley when he heard four to five gunshots and felt pain, said Officer Jose Estrada, a Police Department spokesman.

The 25-year-old was taken to Holy Cross Hospital in good condition and was treated for a gunshot wound in his left leg.
