MOUNT GREENWOOD — Four teenagers were robbed at gunpoint Saturday night near the campus of the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences, according to Chicago police.

Police responded to a call of a robbery at 8:33 p.m. in the 11300 block of South Pulaski Road in Mount Greenwood, a Chicago Police Department spokeswoman said.
