A Chicago police officer shot and wounded in the hand earlier this week was accidentally struck by another officer’s gunfire, according to the agency that investigates police-related shootings.
Chicago police, Cook County sheriff’s deputies and Illinois State Police converge on the area near West 91st Street and South Princeton Avenue in Chicago after a police officer was shot and wounded in the 5600 block of South Shields Avenue on July 24, 2023.
In an update posted to its Twitter page, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability on Thursday afternoon said that an officer inadvertently shot the officer in the left hand as they fired on a black sedan that struck a police vehicle and attempted to flee the area when officers approached.
