2 Teen Girls Hurt In Separate South Side Shootings

CHICAGO (STNG) ― A 15-year-old girl was shot in the thigh Friday afternoon in the Calumet Heights neighborhood.

The girl was shot in the thigh at about 3:30 p.m. in the 8700 block of South Euclid Avenue and taken to Comers Children's Hospital in "stable" condition, according to a report from the police First Deputy Superintendent's office.

Calumet Area detectives are investigating the shooting.

Earlier in the afternoon, a girl was wounded in the arm during a shooting on the Southwest Side, police said.

Fire Department crews responded at 12:51 p.m. to 2714 W. 66th St. for a shooting and transported one person to Holy Cross Hospital, according to Fire Media Affairs Cmdr. Will Knight.

A Chicago Lawn police sergeant said two people were shot and "one of the victims,'' a girl, was shot in the arm. The sergeant would not disclose the girl's age.

Wentworth Area detectives are investigating.
