CHICAGO — At least two men were wounded in South Side shootings Tuesday night and Wednesday.

The most recent happened about 3:25 a.m. in Washington Park, said Officer Hector Alfaro, a police spokesman.

A 20-year-old man was standing in a parking lot in the 100 block of West Garfield Boulevard when two men got out of a dark sedan. One of the men began shooting, striking the victim in his arm.

The victim was taken to Provident Hospital, where he was treated for a through-and-through gunshot wound, Alfaro said.

Just after 11 p.m., a 32-year-old man was shot during a bar fight in Greater Grand Crossing, Alfaro said. The victim was arguing with another man inside a bar in the 900 block of East 79th Street when the man pulled a gun and shot the victim in his right hip.

The victim was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in serious condition. No other injuries were reported.

No one was in custody for either shooting.
