Three individuals were shot late Thursday night in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood while stopped at a red light, marking another incident of gun violence in the city. According to CBS News Chicago, two men were in a silver sedan at the intersection of the 7500 block of South Stony Island Avenue when a red van arrived alongside and shots rang out.
The shooting, which occurred just before 10:45 p.m., left a 23-year-old man with gunshot wounds to the chest, and neck, and a 25-year-old man injured in the leg. Both men were transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition. Additionally, a 46-year-old woman, who was also at the red light in a separate dark-colored SUV, sustained a gunshot wound to the arm and was taken to Jackson Park Hospital in fair condition, reported by the Chicago Sun-Times.
Chicago Police have indicated that the woman was likely not the intended target of the shooting. There have been no arrests made in connection with the incident as of now, and an investigation is ongoing to determine the circumstances and motive behind the attack.
