Three men were shot and wounded at separate parties around the city overnight, including a man shot at his own birthday party.
At 1:24 a.m. in West Englewood, a 35-year-old and 42-year-old were shot at a party in the 6300 block of South Seeley Avenue, according to a release from police News Affairs.
The 35-year-old who was celebrating his birthday was shot in the lower back and taken in good condition to Mount Sinai Hospital, police said.
The 42-year-old suffered a gunshot wound to his thigh and drove himself to Holy Cross Hospital, police said.
About 2:15 a.m. in Englewood, a 22-year-old man was shot multiple times at a party in the 7100 block of South Halsted Street, police said.
He and another person drove until they encountered police in the 3100 block of South Halsted Street, police said. The two claimed they were looking for police, but it was not immediately known why they drove so far from the original scene, passing multiple police stations and hospitals along the way.
The 22-year-old was listed in good condition at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County, police said.
No one was in custody for either shooting and Wentworth Area detectives are investigating.
