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.
