Two people, including a 5-year-old boy, were shot Thursday in Back of the Yards on the South Side.
About 5 p.m., they were sitting on a porch on West 50th Place when someone unleashed gunfire from a gangway, Chicago police and fire officials said.
The boy was struck in the buttocks and taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, officials said. A 19-year-old man was shot in the abdomen and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center.
Fire officials said they were in serious-to-critical condition, while police said they were stabilized.
No arrests have been reported. Area One detectives are investigating.
