Two Chicago police officers were shot and wounded on Sunday after they responded to a “shots fired” alert in the city’s West Side, authorities said.
Both officers were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital due to their injuries.
One officer was in critical but stable condition after being struck to the collarbone and shoulder. The other officer was in good condition and recovering from a gunshot wound to the hand.
The man who allegedly shot at police officers during the incident was also wounded but in stable condition. He was taken to a separate hospital in the Chicago area.
“Thankfully, none of the injuries are life-threatening to either the officers or the offender. But it just underscores the danger that our men and women in the police department face every single day. They run to danger to protect us. And we can’t ever forget that,” said Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
