CHICAGO — Two men were wounded in a shooting after leaving a Chicago club early Saturday, Evanston police said in a statement.

Around 3:50 a.m., Evanston police responded to calls of shots fired near Howard Street and Dodge Avenue where they found shell casings.

Shortly after, two men, 22 and 23, walked into St. Francis Hospital with multiple gunshot wounds. The 22 year old suffered a gunshot wound to his arm and back and was in good condition. The 23 year old was shot in his head and groin and listed in serious but stable condition, police said.

According to police, the victims had just left a club in Chicago and were heading westbound on Howard when another vehicle pulled up alongside them and fired multiple shots before driving southbound on California and into Chicago, police said.

Evanston police are asking anyone with information to contact police at 847-866-5040.
