Two teens were injured Tuesday morning in a shooting on Chicago's Near West Side.
A Chicago Police Department spokesperson told NBC Chicago that shots rang out at about 10 a.m. at a bus stop near South Western Avenue and West Jackson Boulevard. A boy and a girl, both 15 years old, were hit while standing on the sidewalk.
The boy was shot in the chest and stomach and transported to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County where he was in serious condition as of 11:30 a.m. The girl was shot in the leg and treated at the scene.

One witness told the Chicago Sun-Times that four people were waiting to get on the bus when the fourth person in line -- a male -- opened fire on two others.
The woman, who is visiting from downstate, said both teens started hollering for their parents after they were shot.
"Everybody was screaming on the bus," she said.
The shooter ran off after firing shots and was not in custody by midday.
Route 126 Chicago Transit Authority buses were rerouted in the area while police investigated.
