Three people were wounded in a shooting roughly a block west of the Montrose Dog Beach late Wednesday night.
Three people—a 19-year-old woman, a 19-year-old man, and a 21-year-old man—were driving in the 4700 block of North Simonds Drive at around 10:47 p.m. when someone pulled alongside them and fired shots, police said.
The woman was shot in the wrist and taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. The 19-year-old was hit in the arm and taken to Thorek Memorial Hospital. The 21-year-old, who was struck in the hip, was sent to Masonic. Each victims' conditions stabilized, police said.
The entrance to the dog beach was temporarily shut down as police worked the scene, according to reports.
The shooting happened on the heels of one alderman's request for increased police visibility and patrols during nights and weekends along the lakefront near Ohio Street Beach, after a high-profile fatal shooting just west of the water, in Streeterville.
