CHICAGO — Shootings left two people dead and another six people wounded across the city between Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning, police said.

A 35-year-old woman was found shot to death inside a home on the South Side Tuesday night, according to Officer Janel Sedevic, a Chicago Police spokeswoman.

Later, Sedevic said, a 32-year-old man was shot to death in Austin.

A 23-year-old man was shot in Rogers Park early Wednesday morning, Sedevic said, blocks away from where an Evanston teenager was gunned down two weeks earlier.

Another man, 29, was in serious condition after being shot near the Division Blue Line station in Noble Square Wednesday, police said.

• Around 1:20 a.m., Sedevic said, a 29-year-old man was standing in the 1200 block of East 87th Street in Calumet Heights when he was approached by two men with whom he'd been arguing earlier.

One of the men pulled out a gun and shot him in his wrist before running away, Sedevic said.

The man was taken to Advocate Trinity Hospital, Sedevic said, where he was listed in good condition.

Police said two people are being questioned.

• Around 5 p.m. Tuesday, police said, a 22-year-old man was standing in the 8100 block of South Loomis Avenue in Auburn Gresham when he heard gunshots and felt pain.

The man was taken to Little Company of Mary Hospital and later transferred to Stroger Hospital, where he was listed in good condition with a gunshot wound in his abdomen, according to Officer Veejay Zala, a Chicago Police spokesman.

Police said the man is a documented gang member.

• At 3:40 p.m., Zala said, a 33-year-old man was sitting in a car in the 7400 block of South East End Avenue in South Shore when a passenger next to him shot him in his leg.

The man brought himself to Jackson Park Hospital, and he was later transferred to Stroger Hospital, Zala said. Police could not provide his condition but said he was "stable."

• About 40 minutes earlier, a 36-year-old woman was walking in the 4300 block of South Talman Avenue in Brighton Park when someone shot at her from a passing car, Zala said.

The woman was brought to Mount Sinai Hospital, Zala said, where she was treated for a gunshot wound in her stomach. Police could not provide her condition but said she was "stable."

Police said they believe the shooting was "gang-related."
