CHICAGO — Two people were wounded in separate shootings about 12 hours apart in Humboldt Park.

The more recent shooting happened around 12:40 p.m. in the 3400 block of West Beach Avenue when a 21-year-old man was walking on the sidewalk and a vehicle pulled alongside him and someone inside opened fire, said Officer Jose Estrada, a Chicago Police spokesman.

The man went home and was transported to St. Mary's Hospital by family. He was listed in good condition after being shot in his right arm, Estrada said.

Around 1 p.m. Monday, a 27-year-old man was shot in his leg while standing in the 1400 block of Spaulding Avenue. The man was taken in stable condition to St. Mary's Hospital.

No one is in custody for the shooting, which appears to be gang-related, Estrada said.
