Officials said someone pulled alongside them and opened fire into their vehicle, striking them.

The 19-year-old woman and 21-year-old man were taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center with wounds to the wrist and hip. Both were listed in stable condition. 

The 19-year-old man was taken to Thorek Hospital in stable condition with a wound to the arm.
