The 36-year-old was being treated for a gunshot wound to the shoulder.

Just after 2:30 a.m. an 18-year-old man refused medical attention after he was shot in the foot in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood. Police said the man was walking by a gas station in the 8700 block of South Ashland Ave. when two gunmen in a vehicle got out and started shooting, striking the 18-year-old in the leg and foot.

About 2:10 a.m. a 27-year-old woman was shot standing outside a liquor store in the 3900 block of West Arthington in the West Garfield Park neighborhood, police said. She was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital in good condition.

Earlier in the Woodlawn neighborhood, a 35-year-old man was shot in the arm about 1:30 a.m. in the 6600 block of South Evans Avenue, police said. Police said they did not known what condition the man was in.

About 10 p.m., a man in his 20s was shot at least twice in his left hip in the Washington Heights neighborhood on the South Side, police said. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

About 8 p.m., a 30-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man were injured in a gang-related shooting in the Logan Square neighborhood, authorities said.
