CHICAGO — Six people have been shot in Chicago since Monday morning, including a 15-year-old boy, police said.

At 2:28 a.m. Tuesday, a 19-year-old man was shot in the 1400 block of South Central Park Avenue. In that incident, two armed attackers knocked on the door and said they would rob the place after the victim's uncle answered the door.
