Man injured in Southwest Side shooting

A 31-year-old man was shot and wounded this morning on the city's Southwest Side, police said.

The victim was with a group of friends getting into a car in the 5500 block of

South Pulaski Road
when his group began arguing with a man in another vehicle, police said.

The man got out, pulled a handgun and opened fire, striking the victim in the upper back and delivering a graze wound to his head, police said.

The victim's friends drove him to Holy Cross Hospital before he was transferred to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where his condition was described as "guarded," police said.
Police only had a vague description of the gunman, but hadn't made any arrests this morning. What sparked the argument that led to the shooting wasn't immediately clear.

Wentworth Area detectives were investigating the shooting
