Police are looking for a silver car after someone opened fire from it — toward two Cook County sheriff’s deputies early Wednesday outside Mount Sinai Hospital on the West Side.
No one was shot during the incident, which happened as the deputies were inside their vehicle, leaving the hospital to head back to the Cook County Jail to clock out around 3:30 a.m. in the 1500 block of South California Avenue, Chicago police and the sheriff’s office said.
A silver car approached and someone opened fire from the passenger side, not hitting the deputies, 27 and 28, but damaging the rear passenger door of their police car, authorities said.
The silver car fled east and no arrests were made.
