A 23-year-old man was critically injured after being shot in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on Sunday evening. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the victim sought help at a fast food restaurant located in the 1400 block of West 47th Street around 8:53 p.m., with a gunshot wound to his back.
The circumstances of the shooting remain unclear, but it's reported to have occurred on the 4800 block of South Ada Street. After the incident, the wounded man managed to walk into the nearby eatery to quickly get aid. He was then transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition.
