Chicago police shot and wounded a man they said fired on officers Saturday in the city’s South Shore neighborhood.
No officers were injured when they engaged in a shootout with the injured man, interim police Superintendent Fred Waller told reporters at the scene.“We dodged a huge bullet. And I say that with no play on words,” Waller said at a news conference late Saturday night, adding that bullets hit a nearby home.
Waller said the man police shot suffered critical injuries, but added that the man’s condition stabilized after surgery. The superintendent visited the involved officers at the hospital as well and reported they were in good condition. Police recovered the man’s firearm and the rounds he fired, as well as narcotics, Waller said. The shooting was captured on body camera video, he added.
