A 15-year-old boy was shot and critically wounded in the Washington Park neighborhood Friday afternoon on the South Side.

About 4:20 p.m., he was on a sidewalk in the 300 block of East 58th Street when a silver car pulled up and two gunmen got out to shoot him in the back and hip, according to Chicago Police.

The boy was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital in critical condition, police said.
