Chicago crime numbers down compared to last year: CPD

Chicago Police Supt. David Brown says the strategy used to put officers on the streets is working, according to the numbers and the homicide clearance that is now at 65-percent.

A man was shot and critically wounded Thursday night in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago's South Side.

The 38-year-old man was standing in the street around 9:14 p.m. in the 7200 block of South Laflin Street when someone inside a car started shooting at him, police said.

He suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was taken to St. Bernard Hospital where he was listed in critical condition, police said.

No one is in custody as Area One detectives investigate.
