Bystander Helps Man Shot in Albany Park

A 35-year-old man was wounded in a shooting Monday in Albany Park on the North Side.

He was in his vehicle about 2:52 a.m. in the 4300 block of North Troy Street when someone approached him and fired shots, Chicago police said. The man was hit in the back, and was able to run to Montrose Avenue, where a bystander flagged down officers.

He was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where his condition was stabilized, police said.

Police tape blocked off the Templestowe Pub, 3135 W. Montrose, and blood could be seen on the sidewalk near the entrance. A dark-colored vehicle in the middle of the street on Troy had two bullet holes in its windshield along with shell casings nearby.

No one is in custody as Area North detectives investigate.
