Off Duty Wounded
Trying to save a woman being stabbed in broad daylight:
- An
off-duty Chicago police officer was shot, while attempting to intervene
when a woman was being stabbed on the Northwest Side Tuesday afternoon,
CPD officials said.
The incident took place in the 5600-block of West Leland Avenue in Jefferson Park. Just after 2:20 p.m., an off-duty detective assigned to the Area Four Detective Division saw the woman being attacked, and fired shots at the suspect, police said.
The detective suffered a graze wound to the leg, while trying to stop the suspect, police said.
The suspect remains at large Tuesday evening.
And the woman died, so yet another homicide in a formerly quiet northwest side neighborhood that isn't so quiet any more. How many is 016 up to now?
Best wishes to the Detective, trying to do the right thing.
UPDATE: suspect dead - apparently, the Detective got in fatal shot.
