The shooting happened in the 8000 block of West Ogden Avenue in Lyons, but details were not clear.
Lyons Deputy Fire Chief Keith Gajeski said they sent one ambulance to the scene.
“We’re trying to figure out what’s going on,’’ said Officer Hector Alfaro, a Chicago police spokesman, who had no further information immediately.
Shortly before 11 p.m., Chicago police vehicles blocked roads near the entrance to MacNeal Hospital, 3249 S Oak Park Ave., while groups of police officers milled around outside the emergency room.

John Catanzara, Fraternal Order of Police President, briefly spoke to reporters after walking up to them outside the hospital.
“They’re both good,” Catanzara said, adding the officers were expected to be released at some point early Thursday.
