A Chicago police officer shot and killed a 20-year-old gunman who opened fire on
two other people this morning in the South Side's Englewood neighborhood,
a.
No officers were hurt and one person was being
questioned by authorities in the shooting that happened about 11:40 a.m. near
63rd Street and Honore Street.
According to preliminary information from
law enforcement sources, a narcotics unit officer on surveillance in the area
saw the gunman open fire on at least two other people in front of a grocery
store near a vacant lot.
The officer responded to the shooting, announced his office and told the
gunman to drop his weapon.
The gunman kept firing and ran to a vacant lot where he fired again,
prompting the officer to shoot and kill the gunman.
No one else was hurt, and the
gunman's identity has yet to be released.
Police were questioning a companion of the gunman
who also might have played a role in the shooting, but no charges have been
filed as of Thursday afternoon.
