Four people were shot along a CPS Safe Passage route in the South Side Washington Park neighborhood Friday night. Three men and a teenager were standing on the sidewalk about 11:10 p.m. in the 6000 block of South Indiana Avenue when a dark-colored sedan drove by and someone inside started shooting, police said.
