WEST GARFIELD PARK — Four people were hospitalized after being wounded in separate shootings across the city Wednesday night, police said.

About 3:15 a.m. Thursday, a 26-year-old man was standing on the street in the 4000 block of West Jackson Boulevard when a gunman approached and opened fire, said Officer Jose Estrada, a police spokesman.

The man was shot in the leg and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in good condition, Estrada said.

Earlier, a 24-year-old man walked into the emergency room at Mount Sinai Hospital with a gunshot wound, said Officer Ron Gaines, a police spokesman.

About 10:30 p.m., the man entered Mount Sinai with a gunshot wound in the arm and told police the shooting happened near 24th Street and Washtenaw Avenue. Gaines said the man was in good condition as of Thursday morning.

About 9:50 p.m., a teenager was shot in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood.

A 17-year-old boy was standing in the 2100 block of North Mulligan Avenue when a gunman got out of gray-colored sedan and fired shots, Gaines said.

The teen was shot in the leg and was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center where he was listed in good condition.

Another 17-year-old boy was injured in a shooting in the Englewood neighborhood.

The teen was standing near 70th Street and Perry Avenue about 8 p.m. when he was shot in the buttocks and ankle, Gaines said.

The teen was taken to Stroger Hospital where his condition stabilized, Gaines said.
