CHICAGO — Three men were wounded Thursday in separate shootings on the city's North and South sides, police said.

The most recent shooting happened in the Lincoln Square neighborhood Thursday evening.

About 6 p.m., a 22-year-old man was shot in the 5200 block of North Rockwell Street, said Officer Ana Pacheco, a Chicago Police spokeswoman.

The man was shot in his leg and was transported to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, where his condition stabilized, Pacheco said.

An 18-year-old man was shot in the face in the Brainerd neighborhood just before noon Thursday.

About 11:50 a.m., the teen was walking in the 8900 block of South Justine Street when someone inside a passing silver SUV fired shots, Pacheco said.

The teen was shot in the face, police said. He later walked into the emergency room at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. He was listed in fair condition.

Two hours later, a 25-year-old man was shot in Marquette Park. The man was near West 70th Street and South Rockwell Street when he was wounded in a possible drive-by shooting, police said.

The 25-year-old was shot in the right shoulder and was transported to an area hospital, Pacheco said, citing preliminary information.
