Police say they responded to reports of shots fired outside the hotel, located at 4141 Calumet Ave just before 2 a.m. When they arrived, police say they learned a 20-year-old man had been shot four times. The victim's 21-year-old brother was also injured, however, they say they are not sure if it was a graze wound or broken glass.
The gunshot victim was transported to a Chicago-area hospital with non-life threatening injures, officials say. The other man was treated at a local hospital.
