One of the attackers was shot in the knee, police said.AdvertisementTwo of the three people have since been charged, Karie James, a police spokeswoman, said. They were 15 and 16 years old, she said. The person who was shot in the knee has not been charged with a crime and James did not release his age.When the 69-year-old shot at the three people, they ran back to a gray Ford Fusion and drove off, authorities said. Police initially misidentified the color of the vehicle as red.AdvertisementThey managed to get as far as the Gresham neighborhood, but the Ford crashed in the 8700 block of South Vincennes Avenue, according to police. All three people took off running, but soon were caught by Chicago police officers.Authorities later learned that Ford Fusion had been reported stolen Sunday night, James said.The three were taken to an area hospital for evaluation.
