A man shot near Garfield Park died Saturday night after he drove about mile east before flagging down police, one of at least 14 people shot in the city since mid-afternoon, authorities said.

The man, 21, was shot in the chest about 6:50 p.m. Saturday in the 3900 block of West Ferdinand Street on the West Side, and drove north and east to the 3300 block of West Chicago Avenue, where police were flagged down, said Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Thomas Sweeney.

The two were at a party when a black-gray jeep pulled up and someone inside the car started shooting. The 16-year-old was shot in the foot, and the 19-year-old was shot in the back. Both were transported to Stroger hospital and are listed in stable condition, he said.
