Two men were critically injured in a shooting that left five hurt in the West Humboldt Park neighborhood late Wednesday night after a gunman ran out of a gangway and started firing, police said.
Police responded to a report of four men shot in a residential area in the 1100 block of North Keystone Avenue on the city's West Side at 11:09 p.m., police News Affairs Officer Ron Gaines said.
A 53-year-old man was shot in the neck and in critical condition at Stroger Hospital this morning, and 35-year-old man was shot in the abdomen and in critical condition at Mount Sinai Hospital, according to police. A man, 33, shot in the right foot and a man, 21, shot in the right arm, were taken to Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center and were in good condition.
An short time later, a fifth man, 37, walked into the medical center with a graze wound and was in good condition, police said. It was determined he had been wounded in the same shooting.
The five were standing or near on the front porch of a Keystone Avenue home next door to the home of one of the men, when a man ran out of a nearby gangway and began shooting at them, according to police. The five were hit by gunfire, and the man ran back west through the gangway to escape, according to a police report.
Police did not have a detailed description of the attacker.
The Chicago Fire Department took one person in serious-to-critical condition to Stroger Hospital of Cook County and one person in serious-to-critical condition to Mount Sinai Hospital, according to a Fire Media Affairs spokesman. Two other people were taken in good condition to Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center, he said.
