A 64-year-old man is in a critical condition after being shot multiple times late Thursday night in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, WGN-TV reported. Police arrived at the scene in the 100 block of West 112th Place just before 11 p.m. following reports of gunfire and discovered the victim with gunshot wounds to his body.
He was quickly transported to Christ Hospital, where he remains in critical condition; the man was unable to communicate details of the incident to the authorities due to the severity of his injuries. FOX 32 Chicago added, Chicago police are still piecing together what led to the shooting. No arrests have yet been made in connection with the incident.
As the investigation continues, Chicago Police Department's Area Two detectives are calling on the public to come forward with any relevant information that could aid their efforts, with calls to be directed to 312-747-8273, or tips can be left anonymously online at CPDtip.com.
