Police officer shot in Chicago, suspect Tango Uniform
2016-07-22
[CBS] CHICAGO -- A Chicago police officer was wounded Thursday evening during a gun battle with a suspect in the South Loop, officials said, CBS Chicago reported.

The incident occurred around 8 p.m. at 18th and Calumet

The officer who was shot was on bicycle patrol with a partner when a citizen told them a man was behaving "erratically" at Fort Dearborn Park, Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson told reporters.

The officers approached a man who was talking on a cell phone and asked him to hang up so they could interview him. The man pulled a gun out of a backpack and began firing at the officers, striking one in the thigh, Johnson said.
