CHICAGO — One person is dead and at least five others wounded, including a 65-year-old woman, in shootings on the South and West Sides Monday, police said.

A 24-year-old man was sitting in the passenger seat of a car when he was fatally shot in Englewood.

In the most recent, non-fatal shooting, a 65-year-old woman suffered a graze wound in West Englewood.

Around 7 p.m., the woman was standing in the 7300 block of South Winchester Avenue when a van drove up and a man stepped out and fired shots at a group of men, said Officer Bari Lemmon, a Chicago Police spokeswoman.

The woman suffered a graze wound in her back and was taken to a local hospital in good condition, Lemmon said.

• In West Garfield Park 15 minutes earlier, a man, whose age was unknown, was shot in his foot in the 4200 block of West Adams Street, Lemmon said, citing preliminary information.

The man was taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition, Lemmon said.

• Around 4 p.m. in Humboldt Park, a 29 year-old man was walking in the 3800 block of West Chicago Avenue when he heard shots and felt pain, Lemmon said.

The man was shot in the foot and taken to Norwegian-American Hospital and listed in good condition, Lemmon said.

• A half-hour earlier in West Englewood, a 32-year-old man was shot in the leg in the 5800 block of South Laflin Street, Lemmon said.

He was taken to Saint Bernard Hospital, where he was listed in good condition, Lemmon said.

• In Bronzeville at 11 a.m., a 26-year-old man was shot in his shoulder in the 4900 block of South Langley Avenue, said Officer Janel Sedevic, a Chicago Police Department spokeswoman.
