He says another person is in fair-to-serious condition.
Chicago Police Officer JoAnn Taylor says none of the injuries appear life-threatening. She says the shootings occurred about 8:25 p.m. Thursday.
No one is in custody. An investigation is ongoing.
A number of ambulances responded to transport the victims, forcing the temporary closure of part of 53rd Street.
