At least one of the victims was in critical condition, police said.

About two hours earlier, a 15-year-old girl was shot in a park blocks away in the 3700 block of West Arthington Street.

One man, 47, was shot multiple times throughout his body and was listed in critical condition at Stroger Hospital of Cook County. Another man, 22, was shot in the right side of the face and was in good condition at the same hospital. A 43-year-old man was shot once in the right thigh and was in good condition at St. Anthony Hospital, and a fourth man, 46, was shot once in the left thigh and was in good condition at Mount Sinai Hospital.

The victims could not provide police with further information.

No one was in custody Monday night. Area Four detectives were investigating.

This shooting happened about half a mile from the scene where a 15-year-old girl was shot at Arthington Street near Lawndale Avenue earlier in the evening. She was not the intended target, police said.
