At approximately 8:23 p.m. in the 1600 block of Fairmount Avenue, deputies were called to a shooting in which multiple people had been struck while sitting inside a vehicle near a home, authorities said. Once they arrived, deputies began providing aid to both victims who were located outside the vehicle, the Will County Sheriff's Office stated.
A 36-year-old man who lives in the nearby home was shot in the face, hand and leg and taken to Silver Cross Hospital where he was listed in critical but stable condition. The second victim, a 34-year-old man from Lockport, was shot in the back and also reported to be in critical but stable condition, authorities said.
Both victims were later transferred to Chicago hospitals for further treatment and remained in critical condition as of Monday afternoon.
