A 15-year-old boy was fatally shot by a Chicago police officer in the South Side's Englewood neighborhood Sunday night.
The shooting happened about 10:50 p.m. in the 6600 block of South Sangamon Street.
Pat Camden, a union spokesman for the Fraternal Order of Police, said officers assigned to a gang crimes unit heard gunfire in the area and spotted three people running as the officers responded.
Police pursued one of the runners, leaving their car and chasing him on foot down Sangamon Avenue. During the foot chase, the runner turned towards the officers and pointed a gun at them, drawing fire from an officer, according to the statement.
The boy was struck and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. He was pronounced dead at 11:35 p.m.

Lieing ass cops they do whateva they want and get away with it
Don't carry two guns and point them at the police.
I kno rite! They didnt even say the recovered a pistol from the scene. I bet they carry guns they recover off other ppl and put them by the body . I bet that kid never even had a gun
Yes he did have a gun,And almost shot those cops, the cops told him to put it down, they screamed at him, and then shot the kid.
I have a 13 year old, and a 15 year old, my 15 year old, would know not to touch a gun. opr to point at a police officer, This is such a sad story, My heart goes out to this humble family..he should of know not to do this, but couldn't the police, see he was a child. Could the police not take cover, and ask him to put the gun down, I mean take there time with a child..they could of just waited, and hid,My heart goes out to this family, dear lord, just a kid, with so much to give this world, Sorry Mrs Clark.
Their are too many evil people of all races.who luv to fight and treat people bad.i believe their are good cops .but a cop who is races and hide it .is the true son or daughter of satin.for he or she carry in their heart a torch of hell.
Yea .... Who told uvthat. How do u kno. Cops are liars. This is crook county. They say anything to cover their ass. They didnt even say the recovered a gun from the scene.
So wait for the "kid" to shoot doesn't seem logical to me. How about this I point a gun at you and you wait and see if I shoot you sounds good to me
I'm not waiting to see if this kid is going to shoot. The kid chose to draw this weapon and lost PERIOD.
