The man said he didn't have a phone and one of the robbers shot the man in his leg, Amezaga said.

During the robbery, the victim was shot in his left arm and right leg before he managed to pull away and drive to a police station, Amezaga said. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in good condition.

• At 11:30 a.m., a 16-year-old was shot in North Lawndale, Amezaga said. The boy was walking on the sidewalk in the 3900 block of West Grenshaw Street when two people in a black Nissan fired shots at him and drove away.
