Man shot outside Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn

A man was shot outside Christ Medical Center early Saturday in south suburban Oak Lawn.

The man, 28, was with a large group of people about 2 a.m. in front of the hospital’s emergency room in the 9400 block of South Kilbourn Avenue when he was shot in the left eye, Oak Lawn police said.

He was taken into the hospital’s emergency room and was listed in critical condition, police said.

Officers saw a suspect run from the group and placed him in custody after witnesses identified him as the shooter, officials said. A loaded revolver was recovered.

The shooting was believed to be related to another shooting less than two hours earlier in Gresham that left two people dead, officials said.

Oak Lawn detectives and the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force were investigating.

Anyone with information was encouraged to call the Oak Lawn police at 708-907-4051, or text tips to 708-613-8477.
