BRIEF: Man wounded in drive-by shooting near Truman College

Dec. 09--A man was seriously wounded in a drive-by shooting across the street from Truman College in the Uptown neighborhood Tuesday morning, according to police.

The man was hit in the head about 10 a.m. in the 1100 block of West Wilson Avenue, police said.

He was taken in critical condition to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, according to Chicago police news affairs, which said the man was apparently not the intended target.

Earlier on the South Side, about 8:25 a.m., a 29-year-old man was shot in the 7100 block of South Cyril Avenue, near 71st Street and Jeffery Boulevard.

He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital with two leg wounds, police said, and his condition was stabilized.

Two people were taken into custody and a weapon was recovered, police said.
