Man Robbed, Shot In Englewood

CHICAGO (STMW) -- A 61-year-old man was robbed and shot by two people Thursday afternoon inside a West Englewood store.

About noon, he was inside an establishment in the 6800 block of South Ashland Avenue when two men with guns walked in and announced a robbery, according to Chicago Police.

At least one of them opened fire, hitting the 61-year-old in the ankle, police said. They made off with his cell phone and an unspecified amount of cash, and took off in a dark-colored vehicle, police said.

The wounded man was taken to Holy Cross Hospital in good condition.
