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.
