Man Critically Wounded In West Pullman Attack Over Phone

CHICAGO (STMW) -- A man was critically wounded when another man who argued with him early Sunday over a cell phone after a West Pullman neighborhood party started shooting.

The man and the alleged shooter were on the porch of a home in the 11600 block of South Harvard Avenue after a party when they became involved in an argument about the suspect's cell phone, police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said.

The suspect then pulled out a gun about 1:30 a.m. and shot the 30-year-old man multiple times, Greer said.

The man shot was taken in critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Greer said.

The suspect, 34, is in custody and charges are pending, Greer said.

Area South detectives are investigating.
