A Chicago police officer shot a man wielding a shotgun at a traffic stop tonight on the Far South Side
The shooting happened around 8 p.m. near West 105th and South Green streets in the Washington Heights neighborhood.
When police pulled a vehicle over, a man exited it with a shotgun, apparently raising it in the direction of at least one officer.
An officer shot the man three times, police said, and he was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. His updated condition wasn’t immediately available.
A Fire Department ambulance took one person from the scene to Advocate Christ in serious-to-critical condition.
There were no reported injuries to any officers
UPDATE:
A man shot by Chicago police earlier this week is expected in court Sunday, accused of pointing a sawed-off shotgun at police before they opened fire.
Dwayne Hatcher, 20, of Danville, is charged with aggravated assault of an officer with a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon.
Daniel Davis, 20, of the 10300 block of South Wallace, is also charged with unlawful use of a weapon.
The two were walking near 105th and Green streets with t-shirts covering their faces, when officers on a South Area gun team approached the men.
They took off running and Hatcher turned and pointed a sawed-off shotgun at police.
Police shot him. Davis was caught a short time later and police recovered guns from both men
