CHICAGO — Four men were injured in shootings on the South and West Sides Friday, officials said.

Two men were injured in a shooting about 6:30 p.m. in the 4100 block of West 24th Place in Little Village, said Officer Amina Greer, police spokeswoman.

One man was shot in his leg, and an 18-year-old man was shot in his chest, Greer said, citing preliminary information.

Both were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital. Their conditions were unknown, police said.

Earlier, two men were injured in an apparent drive-by shooting in South Chicago.

The men were standing on a sidewalk in the 8200 block of South Baltimore Avenue about 10:20 a.m. when a maroon pick-up truck drove by, and a gunman fired shots from inside, said Officer Jose Estrada, police spokesman.

A 19-year-old-man was shot in his right shoulder and taken in stable condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center. A 20-year-old man suffered a graze wound to the back of his head and was treated on the scene, Estrada said.

No one was in custody for the shooting Friday afternoon, authorities said.
