Boy, 17, fatally shot in Washington Park neighborhood

A 17-year-old boy was shot and killed Monday afternoon on a street in the Washington Park neighborhood that has been the scene of previous shootings.
Killed was Steven McGee of the 6100 block of South Michigan Avenue.
At about 5:50 p.m., McGee was walking in the 6000 block of South Prairie Avenue -- about three blocks from his home -- when a man passing by on a bicycle warned that "guys with guns" had gathered in a nearby alley.
Then one or two men emerged from the alley and opened fire on McGee, striking him in the head and upper torso.
Police said McGee, who reached 17 only six days ago, was affiliated with an area gang, but didn't offer a motive.
