CHICAGO — Three teenagers were among six people wounded in shootings across the city Friday, officials said.

About 7:30 p.m., three men were shot during a drive-by in Englewood, said Officer Jose Estrada, a police spokesman. The men had been standing in the 6900 block of South Harvard Avenue when someone in the back seat of a grey or silver car opened fire.

A 39-year-old man was struck in his left leg and taken to Stroger Hospital, Estrada said. Two men were treated at Northwestern Memorial Hospital: a 25-year-old who was grazed in his face and an 18-year-old who was shot in his right thigh.

In Rogers Park, a 15-year-old boy was shot in his back and lower leg. He had been standing in an alley in the 7400 block of North Hoyne Avenue about 6:20 p.m. when he heard shots and felt pain, said Officer Hector Alfaro, police spokesman.

He was taken to St. Francis Hospital in stable condition, Alfaro said.

Earlier, two people were shot about 5:30 p.m. while sitting on a porch in the 3900 block of West Arthington Street in West Garfield Park. A 16-year-old girl was struck in her right knee and a 22-year-old man was hit in his right leg, police said.

They were both taken to Stroger Hospital in stable condition. No one was in custody for the shootings, authorities said.
