Shooting

No hits, no runs, no errors:

• Chicago police officers responding to reports of an auto theft in progress exchanged gunfire with a suspect Thursday morning in the South Chicago neighborhood, according to preliminary police information. No injuries from gunfire were reported, though police said a firearm was recovered at the scene.

  At about 11:32 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 8000 block of South Crandon Avenue for a report of three males attempting to steal a vehicle, according to CPD police radio transmission. Officers arriving in the area located the suspects in a nearby alley.

  The police engaged the suspects, quickly reported shots fired, and declared a “10-1” police emergency. Gunfire could be heard in the background of radio transmissions from the scene as officers relayed updates to dispatchers.

CWB has audio of the radio traffic at the link up top....and we couldn't make heads of tails of it. Hats off to the dispatcher for interpreting the transmissions and getting assist units rolling.
