CHICAGO (AP) — Police say a man being pursued by Chicago police officers fired shots at the pursuing officers before one of them returned fire, wounding the man.
Chicago police Superintendent David Brown says no officers were struck by gunfire in Sunday night’s incident but the wounded man was hospitalized “with non-life-threatening injuries.”
Police say tactical officers working in Chicago’s West Garfield Park neighborhood tried to “conduct an investigative stop” on the man but he fled on foot and officers followed.
Police say the man drew a gun and began shooting at the pursuing officers before one officer “returned fire,” striking the man.
