Man, woman shot in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood near St. Sabina

A man and a woman were shot and wounded Wednesday afternoon while in a car in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood, just steps from St. Sabina Parish.

The shooting happened at 1:25 p.m. in the 7900 block of South May Street, police said.

Police said a 26-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man were in a car on the block when they were both shot.

The car then crashed into a GMC van, police said.

The woman was shot multiple times throughout her body and was taken to OSF Little Company of Mary Hospital in critical condition, police said.

The man was shot in the buttocks and arm and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in good condition.

St. Sabina Church, where the Rev. Michael Pfleger has led antiviolence activism in the community for many years, is located at 1210 W. 78th Pl. a little over a block away from the crime scene.

A source said there was a baby in the back seat of the car, who was not injured.

No one was in custody in the shooting Wednesday afternoon. Calumet Area detectives were investigating.
