CHICAGO (CBS) -- A 14-year-old boy is shot while walking in South Chicago Thursday morning.
The shooting happened in the 8200 block of South Yates around 6:45 a.m.

The offending vehicle fled northbound.
The victim suffered gunshot wounds to the upper abdomen, hip, and shoulder. He was taken to the University of Chicago Hospital in fair condition.
No other injuries were reported.
This is the seventh minor to be shot in less than 24 hours.
