CHICAGO — The Memorial Day violence continued Sunday as a 24-year-old man and a 29-year-old man were wounded in separate West Pullman shootings, according to police.

The day's first shooting came in West Pullman, when at 12:35 p.m. a 24-year-old man was shot, said Officer Michelle Tannehill, Chicago Police spokeswoman.

The man had gotten into an argument with an acquaintance in the 11500 block of South Peoria Street when the other man drew a gun and opened fire, Tannehill said. He was struck in the right thigh and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where his condition wasn't released but police said he was stable.

At 5:53 p.m., a 29-year-old man was shot in West Pullman, Tannehill said.

He was outside in the 11500 block of South Wentworth Avenue when shots rang out and he began feeling pain, Tannehill said. He was struck in his shoulder and got himself to Metro South Hospital, where his condition was not known.

No arrests have been made in either case, police said.
