The seven others wounded ranged in age from 18 to 56 and were shot as far north as Logan Square and as far south as Roseland.
The latest shooting happened at about 7:31 p.m. on the 1700 block of 71st Street in the West Englewood neighborhood.In that shooting, a 23-year-old man suffered a wound to his leg and was being treated on the scene as of 8:10 p.m., said police. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-teen-shot-on-far-south-side-in-roseland-neighborhood-20140422,0,4174884.story
