    CHICAGO (WLS) — A shooting in Lincoln Park left a man critically wounded Friday morning while a DePaul student was robbed nearby, Chicago police said.

A man in his 20s was found on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds at about 3:05 a.m. in the 1300-block of West Webster Avenue, police said.

The victim was wounded in the back and the head and was transported by the Chicago Fire Department to Illinois Masonic Medical Center in critical condition.

No DePaul students were injured.
