At approximately 9:50 p.m., a group of men were in a verbal altercation in the 13300 block of S Torrence Ave in the Hegewisch neighborhood when a known offender pulled out a gun and opened fire, according to police.
Two men, ages 40 and 44, were both shot in the leg, police said. They took themselves to Franciscan St. Margaret Hospital in Hammond where they are listed in stable condition.
