Off Duty Shooting

The lame stream media report:

• An off-duty Chicago police officer was involved in a South Side shootout on Sunday morning, officials said. Police said the shooting happened just before 6:15 a.m. in the Back of the Yards neighborhood's 4800-block of South Bishop Street.

  Multiple armed people confronted the officer, and there was an exchange of gunfire. The officer was not shot but suffered a minor injury after being hit by broken glass. The officer was taken to a local hospital for observation.

The much much better CWB report:

• Three masked gunmen leapt out of a stolen car and opened fire on an off-duty Chicago police officer in Back of the Yards on Sunday morning, according to preliminary information provided to CWBChicago.

  At approximately 6:13 a.m., a 30-year-old police officer was near her garage in the 4800 block of South Bishop Street when a white sedan approached. Three masked men reportedly exited the vehicle and began shooting at her. The officer returned fire, according to CPD. The gunmen then fled north through an alley in their car, which was driven by a fourth person.

  The officer suffered a minor injury from broken glass and was transported to a hospital for observation. No other injuries were reported.

  Less than an hour later, Chicago firefighters responded to a car fire near 46th Street and Winchester Avenue, where they found a white four-door Lexus stolen from Indiana engulfed in flames. Authorities said it matched the description of the suspects’ vehicle.

So not just random, but planned as they obviously followed her to her garage. Stay alert boys and girls, check those mirrors, maybe even circle the block once to see if anyone follows you into your alley. 

Glad you're okay Officer - enjoy the last days of summer off the street. No Billiken, Air and Water Show or that teen takeover for you!
