Two men, 18 and 28, were shot while inside a car and were listed as being in critical condition, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. They were taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center for treatment.
The 1-year-old, in a separate vehicle, was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital in fair condition.
Police reportedly found some two-dozen shell casings at the scene.
