Officer Down

Details still sketchy, but the Officer has been declared deceased:

• A Chicago police officer was fatally shot Monday night in the Chatham neighborhood, and another person was later found dead at the shooting scene, sources said.

  The shooting was reported during an officer-in-distress call shortly after 8 p.m. in the 8000 block of South Ingleside Avenue, according to police radio traffic.

  Microphones peaked as officers screamed into their radios while the chaos unfolded and a radio dispatcher tried to pin down the location of the officer who was shot.

The usual midnight posting will be delayed due to the ongoing incident.
