Three men were killed and at least 14 other people have been wounded since late Tuesday morning in shootings on the West and South sides, police said.
The first fatal shooting happened about 1:50 p.m. Tuesday in the 4900 block of West Monroe Street in Austin, according to Officer Kevin Quaid, a Chicago police spokesman.
Two men, 29 and 18, were sitting on a porch on Monroe when a gunman emerged and fired shots, Quaid said.
The older man was shot twice in the chest and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The younger man was shot in the back and leg, and was taken in serious condition to Stroger, Quaid said.

The slain man was identified as Antonio White, 29, of the 700 block of North Harding Avenue, who was pronounced dead at Stroger at 2:37 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. Information on a home address block for White was not available.
Police believe the attack may have been gang-related.
In what police said was a related development, officers arrested three people and confiscated three guns Tuesday evening in the 4400 block of West Monroe Street, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.
Organized crime officers were told by neighborhood residents that there was a group of gang members who might be armed in the area of 4400 West Monroe, Guglielmi said in an email. The officers immediately went to the area and saw a group of men standing in a group, and as officers went up to the men to question them, they ran and officers saw two of the men discard handguns and a high-capacity magazine.

All three were eventually caught and taken into custody, Guglielmi said in the email. They were brought to Area North, where they were being questioned in the earlier shooting, and charges were pending, he said.
"Officers likely prevented another shooting — possibly in retaliation to initial incident," Guglielmi said on Twitter.
A 21-year-old man was killed in the Marquette Park neighborhood about 9:10 p.m., police said. He was in the 7400 block of South Maplewood Avenue when someone fired shots from a vehicle, hitting him in the chest. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

At 11:40 p.m., one man was killed and another wounded in Pilsen. The men, ages 43 and 35, were at 18th and Halsted streets when someone in a silver SUV fired shots. The 43-year-old was hit in the chest and pronounced dead at the scene. The 35-year-old was shot in the knee and went to Stroger Hospital. His condition was stabilized.
In nonfatal shootings:
About 11:30 p.m. a 30-year-old woman was grazed in the Gresham neighborhood. She was in the 8800 block of South Laflin Street when she heard gunfire. She had been grazed in the back and went to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. Her condition was stabilized.

At 10:35 p.m., a male was shot in East Chatham. He was in the 8200 block of South Maryland Avenue when he was shot in the foot. No further information was immediately available.
About 9:05 p.m. a woman was shot in the knee in the Park Manor neighborhood. She was a passenger in a vehicle in the 7000 block of South Wabash Avenue when someone on foot fired shots and she was hit in the knee. She was driven to University of Chicago Medical Center.

Just before 6 p.m., two men were shot while sitting on a porch in the 6800 block of South Throop Street, Quaid said.
One man in his 20s was shot in both legs and the right shoulder, while another man in his 20s was shot in the abdomen and left leg. Both were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in serious condition, Quaid said.
The two were on a porch when two men or boys came up and fired shots at them, Quaid said.
