CHICAGO — A 14-year-old boy was among at least six people injured in shootings in the city from late Sunday morning to Sunday night, police said.

The boy was shot in his leg in the 1500 block of South Kedzie Avenue in North Lawndale at 10:35 a.m., police said.

A clerk of a convenience store at the intersection of 15th Street and Kedzie said the boy ran into his store after he was shot outside.

In other non-fatal shootings:

• About 11:45 p.m. Sunday in Washington Heights, a 35-year-old man was shot in his stomach in the 10100 block of South Winston Avenue, said Officer Jose Estrada, a police spokesman. He was taken to Advocate Christ Hospital in "stable" condition, he said.

• About 8 p.m. in Chatham, a 32-year-old man was shot in his right thigh 800 block of East 87th Place, Estrada said.

The man told cops he was walking when he heard shots and felt pain, and he was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in "stable" condition, Estrada said. The shooting might have been gang-related, police said. 

• Earlier, about 6 p.m., two men were shot in South Chicago, police said. A 25-year-old was shot in his leg and arm, and a 19-year-old was shot in his leg, both near 89th Street and Houston Avenue, cops said, citing preliminary information. They were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, police said.
