CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago police say an officer was shot and wounded during a shootout that left a man in serious condition after a car drove forward during a traffic stop, injuring a second officer.
Police say one officer suffered a gunshot wound to the left hand and the other officer injured his ankle Monday night after a motorist drove forward, pinning him against their squad car.
Police said “an exchange of gunfire ensued” during which one officer and a man were struck by gunfire. Both officers were in fair condition early Tuesday, while the person in the car wounded in the exchange of gunfire was hospitalized in serious-to-critical condition.
