Ambulance Stolen
A driver led Chicago police on a wild chase through the West Side Friday afternoon after stealing an ambulance from Loretto Hospital.
Cicero police said three paramedics were taking a patient to Loretto Hospital in the city's Austin neighborhood around 4 p.m. One paramedic was still inside the hospital, the second was standing by the ambulance's back door, and the third was inside the vehicle as a different patient was being escorted out of Loretto by security. That patient ran to the driver's side door of the ambulance, jumped inside, and drove away with the third paramedic still in the back of the ambulance. The paramedic was able to jump out of the ambulance about two blocks away, Cicero police said.
The paramedic who had been standing by the ambulance called 911 immediately, Cicero police said, allowing Chicago police to quickly respond and give chase.
Thank goodness no shots were fired!
The driver then led police on a chase through the city's West Side. At one point, police were able to stop and box in the ambulance near Jackson and Central, but the driver barricaded himself in the ambulance and rammed into squad cars to escape again. There are reports police opened fire on the driver when he rammed the squad cars, but there are no reports of any vehicles or people being struck by gunfire.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability confirmed they are investigating an officer-involved shooting.
And they didn't hit the ambulance? Seriously? It's a giant freaking box, roughly forty times the size of a qualification target....and no reports of any hits on it?
No one seriously injured, but an Officer did go to the hospital after the offender rammed a squad car.

Lifehack for our younger officers: don't drive head on into a moving ambulance.
Now now.
Let's not criticize the obvious attention being paid to target acquisition before discharging, not damaging potentially soon to be needed equipment, risking being accused of a wreckless discharge, and not because of forgetting to don that jimmyhat, or properly securing it for the duration of the engagement, nor drawing the wrath of those primed to bitch about any law enforcement activity whatsoever, aka the dreaded posse of progressively nasty nasties.
Let us leave the careless discharges to the experts.

Eyes dint steal no Bambalance
Maybe they should train with the ferals holding their weapons sideways. t
The ferals seem excellenly qualified to hit anything nearby. That said, tis harder to hit a moving target, but, miss one that large? Dei strikes er, in this instance, doesn't strike, it flops briliantly again. Does anyone practice beyond qualification testing? Yikes
Sending prayers for the officer's complete recovery.
The sinking ship continues to sink. The city is slipping into the abyss.
Let me guess
A Usual Suspect.
It was a Cicero Fire Dept ambulance carrying a bunch of illegals just trying to get away because they was scared.
Its so sad that alot of officers on this job cant shoot..and shouldnt even have a gun!!
Shits off the rails. Where were the violence preventers, the social workers?
WHY would you put yourself and your partner in danger by placing yourself in the direction of an ambulance that doesn’t have anyone in it besides the driver, and let him hit you head on then you the passenger want to jump out right away when others are already there dumbass tactics Id be pissed
Less than 5 minutes away from Conehead’s house. Nice neighborhood!
That’s the first thing I noticed and said to the wife as we saw it on the news. Said “that dude is gonna take some days”. Seriously… what the fuck is wrong with these morons on the job today?
