A Chicago police officer shot a man Saturday night in Austin after he fled and pulled out a gun, authorities said.
Police were called to disperse a large crowd around 10:30 p.m. in the 1900 block of North Austin Avenue. One man ran off and officers chased him, according to Chicago police, who said the man then turned with a gun in his hand and an officer shot him in the legs and hand.
The man was taken to Loyola University Medical Center in fair condition, police said. An officer was taken to a hospital for observation, but police did not say why or whether he was the officer who shot the man. A weapon was found at the scene.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability is investigating. The cops involved are on routine administrative duties for at least 30 days.
