3 injured in shooting at bar on Chicago's South Side: police

CHICAGO - Chicago police are investigating a shooting at a bar in Washington Park that left three people injured Friday night. 

A male suspect entered the Odyssey Tavern, located in the 200 block of East Garfield Boulevard, around 11:38 p.m. and opened fire in the direction of another man. Thirty patrons were inside at the time of the shooting.

Witnesses say they heard more than 10 gunshots. 

The intended target was struck three times in the chest and transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition. 

A 53-year-old man was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in good condition with a gunshot wound to the left leg. 

Police said a third victim, a woman, suffered a graze wound from glass and was taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition. 

A manager at the bar, Jackie Welsh, said it was an isolated incident and that there will be more security at the establishment.

As of Saturday night, the bar was temporarily closed, but the Welsh said they'll be back soon. 

"We plan to be here for a very long time. We do plan to open back up and we want our family back," Welsh said.

The gunman and the victim, who is in critical condition, reportedly knew each other. 

No one is in custody. Area One Detectives are investigating.
