A man was killed and another wounded in a shooting early Sunday in Washington Heights on the South Side, police said.

The two men were shot inside a home during a gathering about 1 a.m. in the 1100 block of West 104th Street, Chicago police said.

Minutes after the shooting, officers pulled over a vehicle on 103rd and Aberdeen Streets that was seen leaving the area where the incident happened and took two of the occupants in for questioning, police said.
