CHICAGO — A man died and three others were hurt in South Side shootings Wednesday morning, including two who were hit by flying glass, police said.

About 11:05 a.m., a man was shot in the 7500 block South Union Avenue in Englewood, said Officer Michael Sullivan, a police spokesman.

The man, identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office as Jeffrey Montgomery, was shot in his head and pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center, authorities said.

Montgomery, of an unknown address, was in his 20s, according to the medical examiner's office.

About 10:55 a.m., a 24-year-old man was shot in his head and shoulder in the 8300 block of South Lafayette Avenue, Sullivan said.

He was taken to Stroger Hospital from the Chatham incident in serious-to-critical condition, according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford.

Two others were hurt by flying glass in that shooting and taken to St. Bernard Hospital in good condition, Sullivan said, though he did not know their ages or genders.

Further information about the shootings was not immediately available.
