CHICAGO — A 31-year-old man was shot and wounded in Humboldt Park early Sunday, police said.

At 4:17 a.m., the man was driving in the 3400 block of West Beach Avenue when a car pulled alongside him and a man in the car opened fire, said Officer Michelle Tannehill, a Chicago Police spokeswoman.

The victim was shot in his back and drove himself to Norwegian American Hospital. He was transferred to Stroger Hospital, where he was in "stable" condition, Tannehill said. Police did not say the extent of his injuries.

The man is a documented gang member, police said, and the incident might be gang-related.

No one was in custody in the shooting.
