The 14-year-old was hit in the leg, and was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital in critical condition, according to police.

The Hyde Park shooting was at least the second on Tuesday in Chicago involving teens. Hours earlier, a 15-year-old boy was killed in a shooting in West Chatham.

He was in front of a business around 2:40 p.m. when someone inside a vehicle fired shots, police said.

No one was in custody in either shooting, and detectives were investigating.
