Two women were killed, and a man was wounded in a shooting Friday in Gresham on the South Side, police said.

Officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert about 9:58 p.m. in the 7500 block of South Stewart Avenue and found the women suffering from gunshot wounds, Chicago police said.

Witnesses told investigators that they were on the sidewalk when a blue SUV drove up, and someone inside fired shots before driving off on Stewart, police said.

A 26-year-old woman and a 35-year-old woman were struck in the chest, police said. They were pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office hasn’t released details on their deaths.

A 30-year-old man was hit in the arm, and he took himself to St. Bernard Hospital where his condition was stabilized, police said. Another man, 58, fell to the ground and suffered abrasions. He was taken to the same hospital in good condition.

No one is in custody as Area South detectives investigate.
