A man is in custody after a Chicago police SWAT team responded to a report of a man shot Tuesday in the New City neighborhood on the South Side.
An 18-year-old man was on a sidewalk about 5:30 p.m. in the 4800 block of South Marshfield Avenue when another man, 40, walked up to him and fired shots, then barricaded himself inside a residence, Chicago police said.
The younger man suffered a gunshot wound to the body and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition, police said.
The older man exited the residence after a 40-minute standoff and was taken into custody, police said.
Detectives were investigating.
