CHICAGO — One man was killed and 14 other people were wounded across the city between Friday and Monday, police said.

A 23-year-old man was shot in his leg in Norwood Park late Sunday night, police said.

• Earlier, around 9 p.m. Sunday, a 31-year-old man walked into Mount Sinai Hospital with a gunshot wound in his leg, according to Officer Ana Pacheco, a Chicago Police spokeswoman.

The man had been an argument with another man inside a business in the 700 block of North Cicero Avenue in Austin, Pacheco said. They went outside, and the other man shot him, she said.

The man was listed in good condition, Pacheco said.

Police said the man is a documented gang member.

• Around 6:30 p.m., an 18-year-old man walked into Roseland Hospital with a gunshot wound in his thigh, Pacheco said.

The man said he had been walking on the sidewalk in the 200 block of West 110th Place when he heard gunshots and felt pain, according to Pacheco.

The man's condition was "stable," Pacheco said.

Six people were hurt in shootings between Saturday and Sunday, police said.
