Chicago's police oversight agency released video Wednesday that shows officers pursuing and shooting at a gunman who shot an off-duty cop on the city's Northwest Side in September.
CPD spokesman Tom Ahern said the 27-year-old woman was a "probationary police officer" at the time of the incident.
The shooting set off a frantic search for the gunman across the Northwest Side. Another officer fired at the suspect’s SUV while unsuccessfully trying to stop the vehicle. That officer was placed on desk duty for a month, required under department policy.The female probationary officer was taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Police Supt. David Brown said at a news conference.
After the shooting, other officers pursued the Yukon, which had dealer plates and was spotted traveling on the Northwest Side. Around 3:40 p.m., an officer broadcast a report of "shots fired" near the Kennedy Expressway and Lawrence Avenue, adding that the Yukon fled west on Foster from the highway. Police said the Yukon had struck two police vehicles before the officer fired those shots.
