A 17-year-old boy and a 31-year-old man were wounded in separate shootings Tuesday in Lawndale on the West Side.

About 10:10 p.m., the boy was walking on the sidewalk in the 800 block of South Karlov Avenue, when he heard shots and felt a pain, Chicago police said.

He was struck in the left arm and taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital in good condition, police said.
