CHICAGO — Ten people have been wounded and one person was killed in shootings since Friday night in the city.

In a single incident, four people were shot while traveling in a sedan in Humboldt Park early Saturday morning, police said.

The group was traveling westbound in the 3300 block of West Beach Avenue about 2:20 a.m. when shots were fired in their direction, police said.

The driver was able to get to Norwegian American Hospital, where the four people struck are all in stable condition, police said.

A 21-year-old man was shot in his right shoulder, a 20-year-old man in both arms and an 18-year-old man in his back. A 19-year-old woman was shot in her left leg.

The shooting is believed to be gang related, according to authorities.

A few hours earlier in North Lawndale, 27-year-old Dewey Knox was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting.

In nonfatal shootings:

• A 22-year-old man was shot in the left leg in the 1600 block of South Indiana Avenue, police said. He took himself to Stroger Hospital, where his condition had stabilized. Police were unsure of the exact time the man was shot.

• At about 2:45 p.m. Saturday, a man was shot in the buttocks in the 400 block of West 118th Street, police said. He was taken in stable condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center.

• At 11:55 p.m. in Englewood, two men were critically injured in a drive-by shooting involving a white sedan, police said. The men, 20 and 22, were walking on the sidewalk in the 6900 block of South Parnell Avenue.

The younger man was shot in his buttocks, hip and abdomen while the 22-year-old man was shot in his left hand and right arm.

Both men are documented gang members, police said.

• In West Garfield Park, a 39-year-old man had a graze wound to his forearm when he was shot in the 3900 block of West Madison Street about 11:20 p.m. Friday, police said. He was treated and released from Stroger Hospital.

• In the Near West Side, a 19-year-old man was shot twice in his chest while in the 2200 block of West Adams Street at 7:10 p.m., police said. The man, who police said has gang affiliations, walked into Stroger Hospital where he is in stable condition.
