CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Chicago police released photos of a vehicle wanted in a series of shootings that wounded two men early Monday in Irving Park.

Police said the vehicle was involved in three shootings between 1 a.m. and about 4:20 a.m. in the Northwest Side neighborhood.

The suspects were described as two males who wore face masks and dark clothing, police said. They were driving a newer model Acura with a moon roof and tinted windows.
