Chicago police have a suspect in custody after two people were shot Thursday in Homan Square on the West Side.

The two men, 23 and 28, were walking in the 3600 block of West Lexington Street about 11:45 a.m. when another man opened fire on them from a box truck, Chicago police said. The 23-year-old was struck in the hand and the 28-year-old was struck in the foot.

Both men were stabilized at Mount Sinai Hospital, police said.

Shortly after the shooting, officers saw a man jump out of a box truck matching the description of the one used in the shooting, police said. He allegedly dropped a gun as he ran from officers, and was taken into custody at a business in the 3500 block of West Roosevelt Road.

Officers recovered the gun and charges are pending against the man, police said.

Area North detectives are investigating.
