Overview
- Officers from the 22nd District responded around 12:54 a.m. to the 11400 block of South Davol Street after 911 reports of a neighbor with a gun and a broken door.
- As police tried to separate a 35-year-old man and an 18-year-old, the older man's gun discharged, hitting the teen and an officer in the chest.
- The officer’s protective vest stopped the round, and a second officer returned fire, striking the 35-year-old and unintentionally wounding the teen again.
- The teen was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and the 35-year-old to Advocate Christ Medical Center, both listed in fair condition.
- The officer was treated and released, and COPA and CPD’s Investigative Response Team are examining the shooting while COPA requests tips from the public.
