Two men were shot early Tuesday morning in a home near Thornridge High School in Dolton, police said.
The two victims — a 24-year-old Chicago resident and a 23-year-old Calumet City resident — were inside the living room of a home in the 14900 block of Langley Avenue about 1:25 a.m. when an unidentified person fired nine shots from a .40 caliber weapon into the residence from outside, Dolton Police Commander Darryl Hope said
The Chicago man was shot six times, with one bullet going through his neck. The Calumet City man in the right leg, Hope said.
The shooter fled the scene on foot before police arrived. The reason for the shooting remains a mystery, he said.
Hope is asking anyone with information about the shooting to call 708-201-3200.
