Woman, 2 men shot in Chatham

A woman was shot in the abdomen and critically injured and two men with her were also wounded during a late Wednesday attack that left the car they were in riddled with bullets in Chatham.

The three were sitting in a vehicle at 11:20 p.m. at 558 E. 76th St. when three men walked up and at least one of them fired into the vehicle before they ran away, police officer Hector Alfaro said.

All three people in the car were wounded, he said.

A source said they were in a late 80s car that was "shot up and riddled with bullets."

After the shooting, the victims drove themselves to East 75th Street and South Cornell Avenue where the Chicago Fire Department responded, Alfaro said.

Fire spokesman Larry Langford confirmed they responded to the Cornell address and took a woman to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition. Alfaro said the woman is in her 30s.

A man in his 20s who was shot in the back was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition, while another man in his 20s suffered a graze wound and was treated at Jackson Park Hospital, Langford said.

Alfaro said the graze wound was in the man's calf.

The motive remains unknown, Alfaro said.

Calumet Area detectives are investigating.
