CHICAGO — Four people, including three teenagers, have been injured in shootings since Monday, police said.

• Most recently, at 10:45 p.m., a 42-year-old man was shot in Roseland, said Officer Jose Estrada, Chicago Police spokesman. The man was standing outside in the 0-100 block of East 100th Place when someone walked up and opened fire, hitting the man in the arm and chest.

The man drove himself to Roseland Hospital, where he was in serious condition, Estrada said.

• At 9:45 p.m., a 17-year-old man was shot in West Pullman, Estrada said. The man was walking on the sidewalk in the 0-100 block of West 125th Street when a man fired at him from an alley, hitting the teen in the lower part of his left leg.

The teenager was taken to Roseland Hospital, where he was in "stable" condition, Estrada said.

The teen is a self-admitted gang member and the incident might be gang-related, police said.

• At 3 p.m., two teens were shot in Belmont Cragin, police said. They were in a car stopped at a stop sign in the 5200 block of West Montana Street when a white car pulled alongside them and someone inside shot at them, Estrada said.

The teens continued driving until they got to the 5000 block of West Montana Street, and then they called police, Estrada said.

The 18-year-old was shot in the back and the 17-year-old was shot in the shoulder. They were taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital, where they were in "stable" condition, Estrada said.

The incident might be gang-related, police said.

No one is in custody in these incidents.
