Vest Saves Officer
A Chicago police officer’s life was saved by his protective vest when he was shot in the chest during a struggle with an armed offender early Sunday on the Far South Side, according to CPD.
Just before 1 a.m., 911 callers reported that their neighbor had a gun and had just broken down their door in the 11400 block of South Davol. That was followed by reports of shots fired.
Officers were on scene quickly and found the disturbance still unfolding. According to police radio traffic reviewed by CWBChicago, arriving officers immediately reported gunfire and issued a 10-1 emergency call. One officer said he had been shot in the chest, but confirmed the round was stopped by his vest.
CWB has the radio traffic link up, only the first minute or so.
The Officer has been treated and released. Offender in fair condition. A third party appears to have been shot by the assailant and possibly return fire.

Best wishes for our brother-in-blue.
May we give thanks to our good God for watching over, "Chicago's Finest."
The offender should be 6' under...

Thankfully he was wearing a normal vest and not one of those stupid plate carriers
Thank God it's not a tragedy. Born to survive. YOU are the strong, Officer!
Glad the copper is ok , but was hoping that the bad guy got his ticket punched for a dirt nap in boneyard city.
God bless this officer and his fellow brother and sisters in blue.
Glad to hear that the officer is okay. COPA should investigate why officers need to wear bullet proof vests in this city when they go to work. It might enlighten them why officers aim their weapons at people and use force to put people into custody that resist arrest.
I want to mention what a great job the transport unit did! Such smooth and clear transmission over the air and letting everyone know where they were with the officer through the entire route and when they arrived at the hospital. EXCELLENT JOB!
Prayers for both officer's that Copa and the jus funin crowd don't jam them up and they both heal physically and emotionally. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Get well kid. Heard it was his first week on the job. Hopefully we can get everyone charged the way they should be.
Great job by the dispatcher. Thats sarcasm. Wow. Just wow..
Keeping the PO's family at the front of the line for prayers as well.
First week on the job? Landed in 022?
022 must be a busy place nowadays.
Offender not dead after shooting a cop. Bring back the old rats when offender would have gained a couple pounds of lead for shooting a cop. Next tmecj just send in the shrinks to diffuse the situation, that way on less shrink
Amen..
Gov. Lardass waddling in on this...
Thankfully the citizen that was shoot was provided top of the line free tax payer paid health care...
AND
Were the State of democrats will deep dive into the shooting that may have violated civil rights....
Next question.
Your an ass…did you have body cameras everywhere…so after the offender is no longer a threat you are supposed to keep shooting…cops are going to federal prison for that….
Prayers for you office.
Get well soon Officer.
The Safe T act is made by criminals for criminals period.
Wow. Just wow… What are you, 17?
If any of you wonder why we’re in a consent decree just refer to the moron above. No idea how to actually be the the police.. got mad because someone mouthed off and they went to jail for whatever they said they did.. found something then it was eanie meenie miney moe of who got it. Pumped guys “full of lead.” And it goes on and on. We are paying for their sins…
New Covid Conspiracy Theory, Bullets have been & are still manufactured underpowered.
