CHICAGO (STMW) – A 13-year-old boy was wounded in a drive-by shooting as he stood in front of his South Side home Monday afternoon.

About 2 p.m., the boy was standing in front of his home on the 9400 block of South Indiana Avenue when a gray Chevrolet Cavalier drove down the block, a report from police News Affairs said.

A rear seat passenger opened fire and the boy was shot in the left calf, according to the report. He was taken to Roseland Community Hospital in good condition, police said. No one was in custody Monday night.

Calumet Area detectives are investigating.

  • Truth B Told

    Glad the 13 year old was only show in the calf and not killed or maimed.

    I DO FIND IT INTERESTING THAT WITH ALL THE VIOLENCE THAT TOOK PLACE THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND IN CHICAGO, CBS DOES NOT HAVE THE NEWS ARTICLES ON THIS WEBSITE. I THINK CBS IS DOING THEIR BEST TO “DOWNPLAY” THE VIOLENCE. Which we all know continues to escalate.

    Oops, I typed “show” instead of shot. My mistake.

  • Smash Crasher

    Actually all the killings are saving you the taxpayer literally hundreds of thousands in future Welfare, Food Stamp, Section 8, free school breakfast/lunch/dinner, energy assistance, racial discrimination lawsuits and Medicaid dollars. So buck up. There’s a silver lining to every cloud.

    The black ass homies strike again. A 13 year old, real nice. Time to crack down people ! Write your alderman, the black homie problem needs to be addressed sooner rather than later !
