An 18-year-old man was seriously hurt when a fight between several people ended with gunfire.

Police were called around 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 20, to Methodist Hospital Northlake Campus, which had received a walk-in gunshot victim.

Police were able to speak to the individuals involved and their preliminary investigation shows that during the early evening hours, an altercation between several individuals took place somewhere in Portage.

As one group left the area and was driving westbound on I-80/94, a red passenger car opened fire with a handgun at the victim’s vehicle.

An 18-year-old seated in the backseat of the vehicle was struck by the gunfire and taken to the hospital for treatment.
