CHICAGO — Four men were wounded in separate shootings Thursday night.

Around 11 p.m., a 44-year-old man was shot in the 1100 block of West 63rd Street in Englewood.

The man was standing on the street when he heard shots and realized he was shot in the leg, said Officer Hector Alfaro, a Chicago Police Department spokesman. The man refused medical attention.

Around the same time in Auburn Gresham, a 48-year-old man was standing on the sidewalk in the 7700 block of South Lowe Avenue when a dark PT Cruiser approached and someone inside fired several shots, police said.

The bullets hit the man in the stomach, left forearm and knee. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in stable condition, Alfaro said.

About 10:10 p.m. A 21-year-old man told police he was driving southbound in the 9500 block of South Woodlawn Avenue when a man on the street reached into a dark sedan for a gun and shot him.

The driver was taken to Trinity Hospital with a graze wound in the head, Alfaro said. He is in stable condition, police said.

At 9:50 p.m., a 36-year-old man told police he was shot by two men as he stood on the sidewalk in the 7500 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue in Grand Crossing.

The man was hit in the right forearm and taken to Holy Cross Hospital in stable condition, Alfaro said.
