CHICAGO (STMW) -- One man was shot in the face and two other men suffered less serious wounds during a Saturday afternoon shooting in the South Side Woodlawn neighborhood.

An 18-year-old man was shot in the face and taken in critical condition at University of Chicago Medical Center, police said.

The other two men, both 22, were shot in the right foot and right ankle, respectively, and initially taken in good condition to the medical center, police said.
