MORGAN PARK — Five people were hurt between two shootings in Morgan Park Saturday, police said.

First, around 11:45 a.m. Saturday, two women and two men were standing in front of a house in the 1400 block of West 114th Street when someone emerged from a nearby gangway and shot at them before fleeing in an older-model car, according to Officer Kevin Quaid, a Chicago Police spokesman.

Two women, 19 and 20, were brought to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where they were both listed in serious condition Sunday morning, police said. The 19-year-old was shot in her right leg and her back, and the 20-year-old was shot in her back.

The 19-year-old was pregnant, according to the Tribune

Two men, 20 and 23, were brought to Stroger Hospital, police said. The 23-year-old was "stable" with a gunshot wound in his buttocks, and the 20-year-old was in fair condition with a gunshot wound in his left leg.

Around 11:45 p.m. Saturday night, an 18-year-old man was standing on the front porch of a home in the 9000 block of South Bishop Street when he heard gunshots and felt pain in his left leg, police said.

The man was brought to Advocate Christ Medical Center in serious condition, police said.
