A 15-year-old boy was wounded during a drive-by shooting overnight on the Far South Side in the South Deering neighborhood, Chicago police said.

Shortly after 3:30 a.m., officers responded to a call of a person shot in the 10000 block of South Paxton Avenue and discovered a 15-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to the left side of his face, police said.

The teenage boy was outside when a dark-colored sedan drove past and someone inside pulled out a gun and fired in his direction. The boy was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital where he was listed in fair condition, police said.

No one was in custody and detectives were investigating.
