A 20-year-old man was shot in his left arm and was taken to Loyola Hospital in stable condition, Sedevic said. Both men were standing outside in the 1500 block of North Linder Avenue when a group of men across the street opened fire, Sedevic said.
- A 26-year-old man was shot in his head in the 6700 block of South Wabash Avenue in Park Manor around 9 p.m. Thursday, Sedevic said. The man was a backseat passenger in a car when an unknown man approached on foot and shot inside the car, Sedevic said. He was driven to St. Bernard Hospital then transported to Stroger Hospital in critical condition, Sedevic said.
- A 48-year-old man was shot in the abdomen at 3:30 p.m. Thursday in the 3400 block of West Lexington Street in Garfield Park, Sedevic said.
