CHICAGO — Four people — including a 15-year-old boy — were wounded by gunfire Saturday night and Sunday.

The most recent shooting occurred about 12:48 p.m. Sunday in Washington Park, police said. A 42-year-old man was shot in his leg in the 300 block of East 56th Street and taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition.

About an hour earlier in Humboldt Park, a 15-year-old boy was shot in his right arm, said Officer Veejay Zala, a police spokesman. The teen was walking in the 3700 block of West Augusta Boulevard about 11:40 a.m. Sunday when someone inside a red van started shooting.

The teen was treated at Stroger Hospital.

Two men were shot in West Garfield Park Saturday night. They were in a car in the 800 block of South Kolmar Avenue when a gunman walked up and began shooting about 8 p.m., said Officer Michael Sullivan, a police spokesman.

The victims sped off and drove themselves to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were listed in good condition Saturday night. A 26-year-old man was treated for a gunshot wound in his lower leg, while a 30-year-old man was shot in both hands.

No one was in custody for any of the shootings.
