Three people were wounded, two critically, in separate shootings Sunday night outside a Dolton bowling alley, according to a village spokesman.
Police received a call just before 8 p.m. of shots fired at Dolton Bowl, 1401 E. Sibley Blvd., and found a 52-year-old man had been shot multiple times and his car peppered with gunfire, according to Sean Howard.
The man, who was hit several times in the left leg and suffered graze wounds to his face and abdomen, was taken to the hospital in critical condition, Howard said.
Two men believed to have been involved in the shooting left in a car described as a possible green or silver Chrysler, Howard said.
In a second shooting at 11 p.m. at the rear of the bowling alley, two men were hit by gunfire, with one suffering a graze wound and the other critically hurt, Howard said.
