Man shot while sleeping when bullet crashes through window

A man was shot in his sleep early Tuesday when a bullet crashed through the front window of a Far South Side home, Chicago police said.

He was one of three people wounded in attacks in Chicago Tuesday morning, according to police.

The man, 43, was sleeping in the front room of a Roseland residence in the 300 block of West 109th Street around 4:55 a.m. when someone fired a shot outside, police said.

A bullet went through the front window and hit him in the leg, police said.  He was taken to Roseland Community Hospital, where his condition was stabilized.

A second man was shot while he was walking down the street in the East Side neighborhood just before 9 a.m., police said.

The 22-year-old was headed down South Avenue J in the 10600 block when he heard two gunshots and was hit in the right leg, above his knee, officials said.

He was taken to Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn and listed in good condition. The victim wasn’t able to describe the shooter.

About 30 minutes later, a man was in both legs in the Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side, police said.

The 21-year-old man was walking in the 600 block of South Albany Avenue when he shot around 9:30 a.m., police said. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and his condition was stabilized.

The address was originally reported as 3000 block of West Harrison Street, but authorities corrected it.
