Someone inside the second vehicle fired shots, striking him in the left leg. The man was taken by paramedics to Stroger Hospital in good condition.

Another man was shot early Saturday in the East Garfield Park neighborhood. The 43-year-old was standing on the sidewalk about 4:30 a.m. in the 3000 block of West Jackson when a man in his 20s approached with a handgun and demanded his property, police said. After stealing the victim's personal items, the shooter fired, striking the older man in his left leg. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where his condition stabilized.

A 20-year-old man was shot about a half hour earlier in the Austin neighborhood.

The man was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where his condition stabilized.

At 10:10 p.m. Friday, a woman was shot in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the West Side. She was driving a car north in the 1000 block of North Campbell when someone fired shots from a gray SUV, striking her in the arm, police said. The woman took herself to Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center, where her condition stabilized.

The weekend's first shooting happened about 8:30 p.m. Friday in the West Pullman neighborhood on the Far South Side. A 57-year-old man shot a 62-year-old woman in the face and then turned the gun on himself inside a home in the 12500 block of South Emerald, police said. The woman was taken in critical condition to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, and the man died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. An autopsy Saturday found that he died of the gunshot wound to the head and his death was ruled a suicide, the Cook County medical examiner' office said. His identity has not been released.
