Burglary at Northwest Side mall sparks police shooting, chase, collision
A Chicago police officer discharged his gun after a vehicle involved in the burglary of a GameStop ran into him Thursday morning at a Northwest Side strip mall, leading to a chase and a crash 5 miles away in East Village.
No one was shot or badly hurt, and the burglars got away.
The incident unfolded around 4:25 a.m., as Albany Park Police District officers noticed several armed individuals burglarizing the GameStop at 2929 W. Addison St. in the Addison Mall, Chicago police said.
The burglars got into a white Chrysler sedan and a red Jeep SUV and ran into a responding officer as they fled, police said. The officer was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
As the officer was hit by the vehicle, he fired his weapon, authorities said. There were no reports of anyone being struck by gunfire.

Responding officers pursued the sedan and SUV but ended the chase after they were hit by another vehicle that was unrelated to the burglary at Chicago Avenue and Wood Streets, police and radio scanner traffic reported.
As officers relayed information to Office of Emergency Management and Communications dispatchers, they gave updates as the pursuit quickly developed.
“We’re about to go Downtown,” one officer told a dispatcher as they followed the cars south into the East Village neighborhood. No one was injured in that crash.
