Off Duty Shooting
- A bullet from an off-duty Chicago police officer's gun grazed a man's finger when the man tried to disarm the officer during a struggle this evening in the West Woodlawn neighborhood on the South Side, a police source said.
The officer had seen the man fire shots moments earlier -- at about 6:30 p.m. -- into a park near the 6000 block of South Vernon Avenue, the source said.
The man then took off on a bicycle, with the officer chasing him in his car, the source said.
The officer caught up with the man in an alley on the 6200 block of South Vernon and tried to arrest him, the source said. During the struggle, the man tried to take the officer's gun, which discharged, the source said.
The man's gun was found near the scene, the source said.
Even off-duty on a holiday weekend, police run and drive toward the sound of gunfire. But be careful - you have no partner, no radio and no vest in most cases.
By the way, the headline and article don't say anything about the offender's age, but the link says "teen-injured-in-shooting," so we expect some more drama even though a gun was recovered.

The scumbags at the Trib published a photo with what I imagined was the off duty's personal vehicle and license plate clear as day.
Sunday and Monday were a blood bath. Glad to see that brilliant redeployment strategy worked.

Uhh, I think I'd rather be in HELL.
"REAL POLICE" work. Glad you're ok office.
i'm sure the states attorneys office wont find enough /hear enough to charge the idiot. we all know how that plays out !
to bad for the offender it was only a graze. i'm sure he was a standout neighborhood kid who wouldn't do such a thing as try to disarm an officer oh no he is such a good quiet kid who always is there to offer a helping hand to the people in the neighborhood... riiiiiggghtttt !
good job office, thank god you're safe
they need to run public service announcements on TV every 10 minutes. dont carry or shoot a gun. dont point your gun at a policeman. your race-age or gender with not matter.
OT: Police: Alcohol involved in Dan Ryan crash that killed baby, injured 7.
Crying? Don't take my baby? Why? Mama is 100% responsible. No car seat. Drunken male driver. And, I'm guessing, a bottle of Hennessy on the console. They really are completely incapable of connecting their choices and behavior to the consequences. Now I suppose the loss of "her child" will be a reason to drink and use for the rest of her pathetic existence. Or better yet, she'll go on SSI for PTSD and I can pay for the rest of her pathetic existence.
Thug Life is so hard sometimes.
---not a cop
Get on your cell phone and call the on duty police. If the "teen" gets hurt then you will be paying the price. No one has your back any more. Be cautious. The Old Days are long gone. Fatarce Daley took care of that one.
Thats what I usually do on my day off get involved in some off duty nonsense, Breathalyzers, IPRA Interrogations, Enjoy the next 8 years in Civil Court. Call 911, it's alot cheaper in the long run.

Happy Birthday from Rich Daley and his bestest friend.

That's why you shouldn't have your plates registered to your home. You should do whatever you can to make sure that your name and any info about you points anywhere but home. Paranoid? Maybe, but I don't want any visits where I live from anyone other than someone I invited over.

What if we switch from Comcast?
I grew up poor as hell in the KY, and I didn't get a free lunch. I pay $60 for dry loop DSL - when I read this Comcast article my mouth dropped open (and I'm never speechless).
Here comes the new boss, same as the old boss.
The reverends wanting their pickins' will be next.
--No Cop Here
Nice job. Another reason for concealed carry. othe citizens could defend themselves.
"Crying? Don't take my baby? Why? Mama is 100% responsible. No car seat. Drunken male driver."
----This is one thing that I see over and over in "the hood." Drunk or not, multiple kids that are small enough for car/booster seats just packed into some shit box car. You would think that the driver might drive extra careful knowing that his/her children are in extreme danger and that they would not survive in a crash, but you would be wrong! Driving 50mph down side streets and you can forget stop signs! These fine citizens get stopped by us and before we can even make it to the window we begin to hear the,"why tha fuck u harrassing me" or "these muthafuckers out here shooting and u steady fucking with me."
