3 critically wounded in Gold Coast shooting; 12 others shot citywide

The Chicago Tribune reports:
Three men were shot and critically wounded in the Gold Coast neighborhood early Sunday morning, police said, and at least 12 others were shot citywide since Saturday morning.

About 2:15 a.m., a 25-year-old man was standing outside in the 600 block of North Lake Shore Drive near the W Chicago Lakeshore Hotel when someone exited an SUV and fired shots, Chicago police said. He was hit multiple times and taken by a friend to Northwestern Memorial Hospital. He was listed in critical condition.

Two other men were shot nearby, though it has not yet been determined whether they were shot inside or outside the hotel, said Officer Hector Alfaro, a police spokesman.

A 32-year-old man was shot in the head and a 30-year-old man was shot in the left side of the abdomen. They got themselves to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center and they were listed in critical condition.
