Early-morning shootings in the Chinatown, South Chicago, and West Rogers Park neighborhoods today left three men injured, police said.
At 4:20 a.m., a 25-year-old man was shot while riding in a vehicle in the 2400 block of South Archer Avenue in Chinatown, Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said.
A dark-colored vehicle pulled up next to the man's vehicle, and one or more people inside fired shots, Greer said.
A bullet struck the 25-year-old man in the leg, and he was taken to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County, where he was listed in good condition.
Earlier, about 1:20 a.m., a 19-year-old man was shot in a building hallway in the 2700 block of East 80th Street in South Chicago, Greer said.
Early reports suggested four assailants followed the 19-year-old into the building from the street and that one of them opened fire, Greer said.
The 19-year-old was struck in the back and the buttocks and taken to Stroger, where he was listed in guarded condition, Greer said.
At 12:10 a.m. this morning, a 25-year-old man was shot in the right thigh during a sidewalk fight in the 2800 block of West Howard Street, News Affairs Officer Hector Alfaro said.
The man was taken to Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston, where his condition was stabilized, Alfaro said.
No one is in custody in the shootings as detectives investigate.
