Three people were wounded in separate shootings Saturday morning on the city's South, Far South and West sides, officials said.
The latest shooting happened about 6 p.m. on the 5500 block of South Shields Avenue in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side.
Preliminary information said a 27-year-old man was shot in the back and taken to St. Benard Hospital, said Officer Veejay Zala, a Chicago Police spokesman.
The details leading up to the shooting and the man's condition was not not immediately available. Earlier Saturday, another man was shot farther south in the city's Morgan Park neighborhood.
That shooting happened about 11:35 a.m. on the 11100 block of South Aberdeen Street, said Officer Bari Lemmon, a Chicago Police Department spokeswoman.
An 18-year-old man was outside when someone approached and shot him in the left lower leg. He was taken in good condition to Roseland Community Hospital, Lemmon said.
About an hour before the Morgan Park attack, a 37-year-old man was wounded in a drive-by shooting on the city's West Side.
That shooting happened about 10:30 a.m. on the 4400 block of West Lexington Street in the Lawndale neighborhood, said Officer Janel Sedevic, a Chicago police spokeswoman.
Preliminary reports indicated the victim was standing outside when a tan sedan pulled up and someone inside fired shots, Sedevic said.
The man was struck in the groin area. He was taken in fair condition to Stroger Hospital, Sedevic said.
Police were investigating.
