Police said the shooter opened fire on officers as soon as they got off an elevator in the building where they were responding to a domestic incident.
A University of Illinois at Chicago police officer who also responded to the scene helped take the wounded officer to Stroger Hospital of Cook County. The officer was in serious condition with multiple gunshot wounds, according to Brown.
"It hasn't been more dangerous in decades, but it also highlights the bravery and courage that our officers exhibit every day to include their dedication and commitment to protecting the people of Chicago," Brown said. "Every single day, on every watch, brave men and women of the Chicago Police Department put on the uniform, their badge, and go out to protect each and every one of us," she said.
