Two young adults were rushed to the hospital after police say they were shot while outside an apartment building in Waukegan over the weekend.
The Waukegan Police Department and Waukegan Fire Department responded around 9:50 p.m. Saturday to the Lakeside Tower Apartments, 200 Julian Street, for a report of a shooting.
911 dispatchers reported two people were shot at the apartment building and a third victim was across the street in the 400 block of North Genesee Street.
Officers arrived and found two victims who had been shot, according to Waukegan Deputy Police Chief Scott Chastain. A third victim was not located.
One of the victims, a 22-year-old woman, was shot in the stomach and right arm.
She was transported by ambulance to a local hospital where she went into surgery, Chastain said. Her condition has since stabilized.
The second victim, an 18-year-old man, was shot in the leg.
He was transported by ambulance to a local hospital and is also stable in the hospital.
The two victims were outside of the apartment building when they were shot, Chastain said.
Chastain said the woman may have been in a car and the man was possibly on foot when the gunfire rang out. It is not believed they were together during the shooting.
A pickup truck parked outside of Lakeside Tower had been struck by gunfire and was towed from the scene.
Gunfire also struck the front of the apartment building, shattering the glass windows of the front lobby.
Crime scene tape was set up around the front of the building, including the parking garage entrance.
Further details were not available for release as the case remains under active investigation, Chastain added.
