CHICAGO — Two 16-year-old girls were injured when a gunman opened fire on a crowd in Pilsen — among four people shot across the city Tuesday, police said.
The girls were standing in the 2300 block of South Leavitt Street about 3:50 p.m. with a group of other people when someone drove up in a maroon four-door sedan, and a passenger began shooting in their direction.
One of the girls was hit in the buttocks, while the other sustained a wound to her arm, and both were taken to Stroger Hospital, police said.
One of the men in the group was a known gang member, and police do not believe the girls were intended targets, cops said.

The officers didn't return fire, and no one was injured, police said. Officers did not comment on what led to the shooting and said no one was in custody.
In Ashburn, an 18-year-old and a 26-year-old were shot in their legs about 10:45 p.m., police said.
