A person was arrested after allegedly shooting a man and crashing into a vehicle Friday in the Bronzeville neighborhood.

A 62-year-old man was standing in a crowd about 7:40 p.m. in the 200 block of East 47th Street when a male suspect got out of a Jeep Laredo and opened fire, Chicago police said.

The man was struck in the leg and was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in good condition, police said.

After firing into the crowd, the gunman then got inside a Chevy Impala and drove off, police said. He then crashed into another vehicle at the intersection of 47th and LaSalle streets, and was found to have suffered a gunshot wound to the back, police said.

Officers took the gunman into custody and transported him to the University of Chicago Medical Center for treatment.

The driver of the other vehicle was taken to St. Bernard Hospital with unknown injuries, according to police.

Area One detectives are investigating.
