CHICAGO (STMW) -- A 17-year-old boy is in serious condition at an area hospital after he was shot multiple times while on the porch of a Humboldt Park home Tuesday afternoon, police said.
About 4:15 p.m. an unknown shooter approached on foot, opening fire on the 17-year-old as he sat on the porch in the 1400 block of North Harding Avenue, police said.
