Man shot during armed robbery in West Ridge

A 32-year-old man was shot during an armed robbery in a West Ridge alley overnight, police said.

The victim was in the 6100 block of North Kedzie Avenue around 1 a.m. when two men approached and demanded his belongings, according to a Chicago police statement. After taking his property, the offenders opened fire, striking him in the thigh and foot.

Instead of waiting for paramedics, the wounded man drove himself to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was listed in good condition.

CPD did not release descriptions of the robbers.
