Four teenage boys were shot and wounded as they sat on a porch in the Park Manor neighborhood on the South Side.
A gunman walked up to the teens in the 7200 block of South Evans Avenue shortly before 3 p.m. and opened fire, according to a Fire Department spokesman. The teens range from 14 to 16, he said.
Police couldn't say this afternoon whether the shooting was gang-related, but no one was in immediate custody.
All four victims will likely survive, police said. The most seriously wounded teen was a 14-year-old boy shot in the lower back. He was being treated at the University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital.
The other male victims--two 16-year-olds and a 17-year-old--were taken to other hospitals.
