Two men were killed and at least six other people were wounded in shootings Tuesday across Chicago.

One man was killed and another was critically wounded in a shooting at 4:37 p.m. in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the South Side.

The men, ages 19 and 24, were traveling in a vehicle in the 900 block of West Garfield when another vehicle pulled up and someone inside fired shots, according to Chicago Police.

Earlier Tuesday evening, a man was shot in the West Side Austin neighborhood. The 23-year-old was outside of a home in the 4700 block of West Huron about 8:20 p.m. when someone walked up and shot him in the knee, police said.

Tuesday's first shooting happened about 12:45 a.m. in the South Side Park Manor neighborhood. A 28-year-old man was walking on the sidewalk in the 6900 block of South Vernon when someone came out of a gangway nearby and opened fire, police said. The man suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and back and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was listed in fair condition.

They are in serious need of marksmanship training.

Their kill ratio is less than one out of three.

They don't even hold their guns correctly when "aiming".
