An 18-year-old man was found seriously wounded after being shot in the back in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood midday today, but has refused to tell police where the shooting took place, authorities said.
The man was found in the 6700 block of South Damen Avenue, wounded from a shooting, a little after noon, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak.
He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in serious-to-critical condition, said Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford.
The teen was shot twice in the back by someone firing from a car, authorities said.
No shell casings or other evidence were found that would indicate the man was shot near where Fire Department paramedics found him, police said. The man was not being cooperative, and would not tell police where the shooting took place.
