CHICAGO — West Pullman shootings left a 27-year-old man and 19-year-old man wounded on Wednesday, police said.

Most recently, at 10 p.m., a 27-year-old man was shot while outside in West Pullman, said Officer Ana Pacheco, a Chicago Police spokeswoman. The man was standing on the sidewalk in the 12700 block of South Harvard when he heard shots and felt pain.

The back of the man's head was grazed by a bullet, Pacheco said, and he was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center. His condition was not released, but he was listed as "stable," Pacheco said.

Earlier in the day, at 2:56 p.m., a 19-year-old man was running down an alley in the 11700 block of South Eggleston when three men opened fire on him, said Officer Kevin Quaid, a Chicago Police spokesman.

The man was hit in his right leg and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where he was in good condition, Quaid said.

The man is a documented gang member, police said.

No one was in custody in the shootings.
