A person was killed and another was wounded in a shooting Saturday afternoon in Bronzeville.

A male, whose age wasn’t known, was a passenger in a vehicle that was traveling in the first block of East 43rd Street when someone fired shots about 4:35 p.m., Chicago police said.

During the shooting, the vehicle struck two others in traffic before coming to a stop, police said.

The male was found inside with a gunshot wound to the side and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. His name hasn’t been released.
