Three teenagers were shot, with one in critical condition, during an argument Friday night in a home’s front yard in the Austin neighborhood, according to Chicago police.
Officers responded to a call for service around 11:30 p.m. in the 5000 block of W. West End Avenue for reports of three victims struck by gunfire, police said. A preliminary investigation indicates that a man pulled out a gun during a verbal altercation and shot the three teens before he fled in a black SUV, police said.
An 18-year-old woman was shot once in the chest, and is in critical condition.
A 17-year-old girl is in fair condition after one gunshot wound to her hip and torso.
A 19-year-old sustained a graze wound to his arm and is listed in good condition.
The three teens were transported to Stroger Hospital, police said. No suspects are in custody, and police said detectives are investigating.
