Chicago man shot twice -- hours apart

CHICAGO, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- A Chicago man is recovering from being shot -- twice within nine hours, police say.

The 23-year-old man, who police would not identify, was shot twice Friday morning in different neighborhoods and survived, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

He told police he was shot early Friday in the Chatham neighborhood, took a bus to the hospital, and was treated and released.

About nine hours later, he was shot again in the South Shore neighborhood while sitting in a car, police spokesman Officer Robert Perez said.

"Someone is trying real hard to kill this guy," a police source said.

The man said he was shot at about 12:10 a.m. near 79th and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive by a gunman on foot.

He told police he was treated for a wound in his armpit and released.
