A 17-year-old boy is hospitalized in critical condition after a shooting attack Friday afternoon in Chicago’s West Garfield Park area. The teenager sustained at least seven gunshot wounds during the violent incident on the city’s West Side.
Police say the attack occurred around 4:53 p.m. in the 3800 block of West Madison Street when two unidentified gunmen opened fire on the youth as he sat in a parked vehicle. The assailants fired multiple rounds before fleeing the scene without apprehension.
Demonstrating remarkable resilience despite severe injuries, the teenager drove himself to Stroger Hospital, where medical staff immediately admitted him in critical condition. Emergency responders mobilized to provide life-saving care.
Investigators with the Chicago Police Department have canvassed the neighborhood seeking witness accounts and following multiple investigative avenues. The department has not announced any arrests in connection with the shooting as the investigation continues.
