ROBBINS, Ill. (SUN TIMES MEDIA WIRE) - Five people were wounded in a drive-by shooting Thursday in south suburban Robbins.

A vehicle drove up to a gathering of people and someone inside opened fire at the group about 10:50 p.m. in the 14000 block of Grace Avenue in Robbins, according to Cook County sheriff’s office spokesman Samuel Randall.

Five men were struck by gunfire, Randall said. A 32-year-old from Sauk Village and a 30-year-old from Harvey were taken in critical condition to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

A 23-year-old Robbins man was also taken to Christ, while a 29-year-old Harvey man was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and a 25-year-old Chicago man was taken to MetroSouth Medical Center in Blue Island, Randall said. Their conditions were not immediately known.
