Three people were shot on Chicago’s South Side a little after midnight Sunday in the 4600 block of S. Federal Street, leaving an 18-year-old woman fighting for her life. A 19-year-old woman and an adult man were also hit; both were reported in good condition after reaching area hospitals. Authorities said the victims could not provide details about how the shooting unfolded, and no arrests had been announced overnight.
What police say
According to FOX 32 Chicago, officers responded shortly after midnight to the 4600 block of S. Federal Street and found three victims at the scene. An 18-year-old woman suffered an abdominal wound and was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition. A 19-year-old woman was shot in the right hand and was listed in good condition, while a man with a left-shoulder wound reportedly drove himself to the hospital and was also listed in good condition.
Where victims were treated
According to UChicago Medicine, the Hyde Park campus at 5841 S. Maryland Ave. houses the medical center that commonly treats South Side trauma patients. The hospital operates emergency and trauma services that often receive victims from nearby shootings.
South Side violence in context
The shooting is the latest in a string of violent incidents across the South Side this month, stirring renewed concern among neighbors and community groups. Hoodline reported on a separate Back of the Yards shooting earlier in the week that left two people dead and five wounded, underscoring how quickly overnight violence can ripple across nearby blocks.
Investigation
Area detectives were assigned to the case and police said they had no further details as of Sunday morning, according to FOX 32 Chicago. Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact detectives or submit tips to the Chicago Police Department.
