A man was shot in the back just before 7:00 p.m. tonight on the usually-quiet 4700 block of N. Magnolia Avenue in the unusually violent Uptown neighborhood of Chicago.


Correction: CNB reported last night that witnesses said the shooter was on a bicycyle. Actually the victim the one riding a bike.

Police leave the scene, 8:30 p.m. 

The victim was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Hospital and was reported to be in stable condition shortly after arrival.

The shooting occured in front of a residence at 4752 N. Magnolia, on the southwest corner of the intersection with busy W. Lawrence Avenue, about 200 feet from the Uptown Theater.
