A Chicago police officer discharged their weapon during the pursuit of a gunman who was arrested Monday night in the city’s South Shore neighborhood.
Around 10:15 p.m., officers were responding to calls of a person with a gun in the 7100 block of South Jeffery Boulevard and approached a gunman who pointed their weapon at officers and began running away, according to police.
During a pursuit, an officer discharged their weapon but didn’t strike the gunman, police said.
The gunman was eventually taken into custody and a gun was recovered, officials said. He was taken to an area hospital for minor injuries.
The officers involved in the pursuit were also hospitalized for evaluation and were treated and released, police said.
They will be placed on routine administrative duties for a minimum period of 30 days.
