From the Chicago Tribune: Man, woman wounded when car is fired upon

NEAR WEST SIDE -- Chicago police were investigating a shooting that left a man in critical condition and a woman in serious condition after their car was fired upon early Sunday on the Near West Side.

The man, 24, and the woman, 22, were stopped on eastbound Madison Street waiting to turn left onto Damen Avenue about 3 a.m. Sunday when another car pulled up to them in the right-hand lane, said Chicago police spokeswoman Laura Kubiak.

A person in the second car, described as a black four-door, opened fire on the victims before the car sped east on Madison, Kubiak said.

The man was hit in the neck, chest and arm, Kubiak said. The woman was hit in the arm, Kubiak said.
