2 wounded in South Side shooting

Tribune:

A 14-year-old boy and a companion were shot Thursday night by three men who approached them on a South Side street, police said.

At about 11:15 p.m., officers responded to shots fired in the 7000 block of South Indiana Avenue, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Hector Alfaro.

There a teen was found with two gunshot wounds to his leg, Alfaro said, and was taken to Comer Children's Hospital in "stable" condition.

Another male victim, described as in his 20s, suffered a graze wound to his leg, Alfaro said.

More from the Sun-Times:

The victims, 20-year-old Keith Davis and a 14-year-old boy were standing on the sidewalk when a gray or silver car pulled up and three males -- all of whom were armed -- got out, according to a Grand Crossing District police lieutenant.

The suspects asked the two, “Where’s the weed?’’ and when the victims said they didn’t have any the three--who appeared to be in their teens or late 20s -- started walking back to the car, the lieutenant said.

One or more of the trio then turned and began firing, striking the boy twice in the right leg and grazing Davis also in the right leg, according to the lieutenant. After they were shot, the victims -- who are not related -- ran to 6948 S. Indiana Ave. where police responded.

The boy was taken to University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital where he was in “stable” condition and Davis was treated on the scene, according to the lieutenant. No one else was hurt and the car fled southbound on Indiana.

According to a police lieutenant, the suspects one of the suspects were wearing a brown baseball cap and jacket. They may be driving around in a silver Chevy Impala or Malibu. Also this suspect is said to be about 200 pounds. From what I can tell in any accounts I have found (primarily thru EveryBlock) there were no suspects in custody as of 1:30 AM this morning. Calumet area detectives are investigating.
