The triple shooting occurred outside a bachelor party in the 4500 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue around 1:55 a.m. Saturday. A 32-year-old man was shot in the face, a 25-year-old man was shot in the feet and a 32-year-old man was shot in the buttocks. They were stabilized at Provident Hospital of Cook County. Two clusters of more than a dozen shell casings littered the sidewalk close to 45th Street.



At 10:55 p.m. the same day, a 44-year-old man was shot by a homeowner while trying to break into a home down the street and around the corner, police said. The homeowner told police the intruder used a crowbar to force his way into his home in the 4500 block of South St. Lawrence Avenue when he fired at him.



The suspect fled in a car after he was shot and drove to Mercy Hospital, police said. Shot multiple times, he was transferred to Stroger Hospital, police said.



The homeowner, a 60-year-old man, has a valid FOID card and a concealed carry permit.



Among those killed over the weekend was an 18-year-old man shot in the neck in a double shooting that also injured a 20-year-old man in the Pilsen neighborhood Saturday morning.
