CHICAGO — A North Lawndale shooting left two small boys, ages 4 and 6, wounded Wednesday night, police said.

At 6:50 p.m., the 4-year-old boy was walking in the 1500 block of South Trumbull near where a group of men were arguing, said Officer Ana Pacheco, a Chicago Police spokeswoman. Moments later, shots were fired.

Once he got home, the boy told his mom he had been shot in the right foot, Pacheco said.

A 6-year-old boy also suffered a small laceration to one of his fingers during the incident, Pacheco said. He was treated and released at the scene.

No one was in custody in the shooting.
