Shooting

Strange how little coverage this is getting:

• A man suspected of having a gun sustained injuries that were not life-threatening after being shot by police in an alley Tuesday morning in the Washington Park neighborhood.

  The suspect “is going to be OK,’' said Chicago police spokesperson Tom Ahern, who was on the scene of the shooting Tuesday afternoon in the 5600 block of South Michigan Avenue.

  Chicago police said officers were attempting to stop a man believed to be armed with a handgun about 11:50 a.m. when he ran and they chased him. One officer who gave “verbal commands” that were “disregarded” shot the man, police said.

These things used to be front page coverage for days, a source of protests, and demands for camera footage. Now, it seems like it's faded into mere background noise.

Glad the Officers are okay - enjoy your time away from the streets.
