CHICAGO — Seven people were wounded in shootings overnight Friday, including four injured in a single incident in Washington Park.

The four males were shot around 11:10 p.m. Friday while standing on a sidewalk in the 6100 block of South Indiana Avenue, police said.

A 16-year-old boy shot in the right thigh, an 18-year-old man shot in the left hand and thigh, and a 21-year-old man hit in the left leg were take to St. Bernard Hospital in stable condition, police said.

A 22-year-old man was hit in the left calf and taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition. No one is in custody, and Area South detectives are investigating, said Officer Jose Estrada, a police spokesman.

In a separate shooting, a 19-year-old man was shot in the 8400 block of South Burnham Avenue in South Chicago around 3 a.m. Saturday. The man was sitting in the front seat of a car when he heard shots and felt pain, police said. He was shot in the left buttocks and taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in stable condition, said Estrada.

Around 10 p.m. Friday, a 16-year-old boy was shot in his shoulder and buttocks in the 1600 block of East 71st Street in South Shore, police said. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in stable condition, Estrada said.

Around 8:30 p.m., a 20-year-old woman was shot in her hand and cheek in the 7500 block of South St. Lawrence Avenue in Grand Crossing.
