Off Duty Shooting
An off-duty Chicago police officer was involved in a South Side shootout on Sunday morning, officials said. Police said the shooting happened just before 6:15 a.m. in the Back of the Yards neighborhood's 4800-block of South Bishop Street.
Multiple armed people confronted the officer, and there was an exchange of gunfire. The officer was not shot but suffered a minor injury after being hit by broken glass. The officer was taken to a local hospital for observation.
The much much better CWB report:
Three masked gunmen leapt out of a stolen car and opened fire on an off-duty Chicago police officer in Back of the Yards on Sunday morning, according to preliminary information provided to CWBChicago.
At approximately 6:13 a.m., a 30-year-old police officer was near her garage in the 4800 block of South Bishop Street when a white sedan approached. Three masked men reportedly exited the vehicle and began shooting at her. The officer returned fire, according to CPD. The gunmen then fled north through an alley in their car, which was driven by a fourth person.
The officer suffered a minor injury from broken glass and was transported to a hospital for observation. No other injuries were reported.
Less than an hour later, Chicago firefighters responded to a car fire near 46th Street and Winchester Avenue, where they found a white four-door Lexus stolen from Indiana engulfed in flames. Authorities said it matched the description of the suspects’ vehicle.
So not just random, but planned as they obviously followed her to her garage. Stay alert boys and girls, check those mirrors, maybe even circle the block once to see if anyone follows you into your alley.
Glad you're okay Officer - enjoy the last days of summer off the street. No Billiken, Air and Water Show or that teen takeover for you!

Targeted because of the neighborhood she lives in not the occupation she holds. Typical Saints vs. La Raza bullshit. She should’ve moved out of that neighborhood already.
Is she was followed, she needs to move out. I highly doubt it was targeted, most luckily gang bullshit. Saints and La Raza idiots.
Crazy days. Have to be ready for an ambush to and from work. Welcome to chicago.
Move out of the hood. Not sure if you know this but you live in La Raza hood who are at war the with Saints… Car burned on Winchester? I’m willing to bet it was the Latin saints probably mistaken the copper for someone else? Somethings not adding up.
How long would it take to drive around the block one time to make sure no one is following you or to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary on your block? Your life could depend on it one day. Stop being complacent.

Whatever happened to alighted? Asking for a friend.
Sgt. Joe Friday here...
Never had this shit in my day,...No Sir ! ....not in my day or watch.
They would be hunted down.
That is a fact!
CPS stopped teaching synonyms 3 decades ago.
Be thankful they can still spell simple words.
Man, you must complain about everything. Shes pulling into her garage. She does need a lecture from you
30 years.
Time to leave that shithole city.
Take the retirement money due to you.
don't worry, the liberal news media will spin it in a way that makes the officer look bad and or racist
Scary shit stay safe and NEVER vote for a democrat
And according the "news radio", COPA will investigate. 3 vs. 1. What is to investigate?
Umm, 48th and Bishop? What kind of officer would live at 48th and Bishop?
Does not sound random to me. HMMMMM
Hey, what's going on with the driveby shootings between cars on 7300 west Addison?
Does 016 even run a car on 1631's beat anymore?
" ..when the neighbors move out of the neighborhood all you have left is THE HOOD.."
About the same amount of effort as putting that city in your rear view mirror.
You should never be predictable with anything you do.
Three against One CPD.
Outnumbered but NOT Outgunned!
Prayers for NO Eye Injury.
This is one of the many reasons I am afraid to go south.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Old school: Bolted.
Ok hard ass
Well Joe, let’s just say that things have changed, and not for the better. Be glad you’re retired.
Sorry but this sounds targeted, 3 pile out of the car and begin shooting doesnt sound right. Yes maybe they tought she was somebody else but maybe she was followed but glad she was armed.... lesson learned always be ready always.
will never understand why coppers continue to live in the hood
it has always been the hood
move to edison park
I agree. Highly unlikely it was targeted. I’d say 99.99% it’s not targeted. Anytime something happens off duty everyone immediately jumps to the theory the copper was followed home from work. And it’s never the case. Just ghetto city bullshit. The copper lives in the ghetto, these things happen there, stop living in the ghetto.
I’m sure every day you drive home from work, you do a loop around the block, blow a red light and go the wrong way down a 1 way just to make sure you aren’t being followed. When you go out to eat, you ALWAYS sit facing the door, have your off duty at the low ready under the table, and 3 extra magazines on you. You probably say things like “I’m never off duty”. Shut up dork.
And what evidence makes you believe it was a hit on the officer? Or is it just that fact she was a cop so you think she was followed and it was a hit put out by the gangs? It’s random, just ghetto bullshit in the ghetto is all. This isn’t the movies.
I assume you always take a different route home from work, never the same one twice? 20-30 years on the job, your trips home are going to get real long big guy. This wasn’t a hit put out on the copper, it’s just random ghetto bullshit because the copper lives in the ghetto. Just a crime of opportunity. They saw the copper parking and it’s a great time to do a lick, or mistaken identity, because again, the copper lives in the ghetto. They didn’t follow the copper from work to kill a cop. Relax with the “I always take a different route home, I do 9.5 circles around the block to make sure my enemies aren’t onto me. I get out of my car, weapon drawn ready for war anytime I get out of my car to go into my house. Hypervigilant at all time, never off duty”. Some of you guys are real dorks.
Happens every day in the ghetto and they’re almost all targeted. Rarely do they just shoot randoms for no reason. They target people/gangs. Mistaken identity happens all the time. Mistaken identity is likely here.
He's here
He's there
He's everywhere
So beware
And yet
You go there every chance you get
Nobody cares.
Hahaha! 11:05:17 doesn’t know who Joe Friday is.
Residency has got to go if the city and police department are ever to recover. But I ain't holding my breath.
Edison park is in the shithole city.
Can't escape it.
The entire city of chicago sucks.
And so does illinois.
Don't very ignorant.
Always wondered why the cops in my neighborhood park next to my house when they live down the block. Thanks! So, my house will get hit!
One who’s evidently not so bright.
I gotta hold on to my angst. I preserve it because I need it. It keeps me sharp, on the edge, where I gotta be.
Whaaaat? I thought you were a Mt Greenwood Boy through & through
Because simple single-family homes there don’t cost $500k+ with Property Taxes approaching 5 figures?
Thanks detective….. I’m sure Th at she will well aware of the conflict over there that has been going on over there for longer than she’s been alive…
The Edison park neighborhood has the most registered sex offenders in the city.
These punks got nothing on the Van Buren boys they run it
Most of the Tik-Tok/selfie generation can’t tell time on an analog clock, write in cursive, or noodle out how to make change while making a simple transaction at a store, having an extensive vocabulary would be asking waaayy too much.
👍🏻
01:49:09 you have the two longest rants on this post. I’m betting you’re a frustrated jailguard
A lot of police on police hate here.
Just as the liberals want it!
Not even close.
3v1 and the cowards still run away after seeing some lead thrown back at them. Great job to the copper, hope she’s doing alright
Prayers for full and speedy recovery.
Off-duty coppers living in the hood doesn’t make any sense.
You earn 6-figures. Live your life smarter and safer.
Look at the last few coppers killed off-duty near their homes- all in the ghetto.
Almost had another one here but for the grace of God.
Spend your money on your safety! Priorities people!
stacked 3 high on the corner...
That’s how it is nowadays
Especially in the 008th district.
They stay in the hood probably partly because it is their home. Friends, family, memories can be hard times to break. Moving on up the northwest side is financially daunting. Not only are the house prices ridiculous but then the property taxes are outrageous. $10,000 a year or more is not unknown.
Decent, reasonable priced areas are becoming fewer. The city is becoming unaffordable for middle class.
Was a shit area when I worked that beat from the mid 80's-mid 90's
30 year old officer, not a 30 year veteran.
Reading comprehension...
No that’s how they work. In groups or 3 to 5 all armed grabbing random victims
The property taxing authorities, aka the county + ALL varieties of other government entities claiming their 'needed' piece of the pie, begin their calculation of individual real property by using the bare land 'free' market current value at the tri-yearly assessment rotation.
Added to base bare land value is anything which either increases or decreases said market value as assessed by county assessor.
As in any nominally free market, seller's asking price vs buyer's offered price = sale or no sale.
Recent sales are then used to determine final assessment, which is basis value for the county taxing authorities to define property tax billing.
Motivation of taxing authority = more is never enough.
Motivation of property seller = as much as will close the sale.
Motivation of buyer of property = as little as will close the sale.
Motivation of lender entities = estimated reliablity of borrower to repay loan per terms agreed to, aka, all of borrowed + as many juice/interest quantities as it takes borrower to pay off balance.
Police professionals are not any different then any other buyer/borrower seeking financially less costly ways to live their lives.
Frugality is not a vice, it is a virtue.
Ask Cmdr Hammerhead
Don’t be so quick to assume that this was simply gang warfare and not a hit on a cop or that that never happens. It has in the past. I remember when Sgt. George Papagiannis ( RIP ) was on his way home from work one day when he noticed that he was being followed . He drove into an alley , hurriedly parked his car in a spot that he knew of, exited his car and put Zeus ( Zeus was a 2.5 in Model 19 ) up against the guys head and ended that nonsense right away. Turned out the guy was someone a George had arrested earlier that week. I know of another copper that was shopping one day when he looked up from whatever he was looking at and noticed a guy he too had arrested standing there staring at him. Words were exchanged and the guy ran off. It does happen from time to time.
bingo. stop being cheap and move out of the ghetto you grew up in.
Seiser runs it
Correct. These assholes always go back n forth with each other, going out 4,5,6am looking to shoot any opposing gang members that they can catch on the street
Racist ? How? Hispanic officer, lives in a Hispanic neghborhood, 99.99% chance of shooters being Hispanic. Try again genius
Is your house brick or frame?
Gotta love the move out of the ghetto comments. Yes some neighborhoods are more crime invested but this has happened in EVERY neighborhood in this city.
Heard she recently bought that house, why? Idk dumb idea to go into a gang infested ghetto pos neighborhood. Over 100k a yr and even if you need a part time to get out do it. Seriously wtf
12gauge 00 buckshot = multiple projectiles per each round discharged
Switched glock of any caliber = series of single projectiles per each round discharged
