CHICAGO — A man was killed and five others were hurt, including three teenagers, in citywide shootings between Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning, police said.

The man, 38, was pronounced dead after being shot in his shoulder in Englewood late Tuesday night, according to Officer Janel Sedevic, a Chicago Police spokeswoman.

A 17-year-old and a 13-year-old girl were in good condition after being shot in West Pullman Tuesday morning, Sedevic said.

• In the most recent non-fatal shooting, at 8:25 p.m. Tuesday, a 17-year-old was shot in his leg in Auburn Gresham, police said.

The teen was standing in the 8600 block of South Aberdeen Avenue when he heard gunshots and felt pain, Sedevic said.

The teen was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where his condition stabilized, Sedevic said.

Police said the teen is a documented gang member, and they believe his gunshot wound was self-inflicted.

• Earlier, police said, two men were wounded in a drive-by shooting in South Shore.

Around 3:10 p.m., then men were standing in the 2100 block of East 68th Street when a dark-colored car pulled up and someone inside fired shots out the window, Sedevic said.

Both men were brought to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Sedevic said.

One man, 29, was in good condition after being shot in right arm, Sedevic said. The other man, 34, was in "stable" condition with a gunshot wound in his left leg, she said.
