Shooting, SWAT Response

Earlier this evening:

• A person was shot and a Chicago police officer injured during a police SWAT response Thursday afternoon in Mount Greenwood.

  Paramedics responded about 3:45 p.m. to the 11000 block of South Millard Avenue, where there was an ongoing SWAT incident, and transported the individual with a gunshot wound to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, a Chicago Fire Department spokesperson said. Their condition was unknown.

  The police officer was taken to Little Company of Mary Hospital for a “very minor issue,” the spokesperson said. It wasn’t immediately known how the officer was injured.

Initial reports were that the offender had "killed his family" or shot someone in the house. Hopefully, his wound(s) were self-inflicted so as to spare the Officer the railroading investigation of twenty-one oversight agencies currently in operation.
