Getting goofy out there. Dangerous even:
- Two men and a woman were in custody this morning following a shootout with police in the Brighton Park neighborhood on the South Side.
Two district officers on patrol exchanged gunfire with a man believed to be 22 years old after a car he and two other people were in pulled up next to the officers' patrol car this morning, police said. All three were in police custody this morning.
The officers, who were in a police squad car, were headed north on Western Avenue just after 4 a.m. when a tan Mercury pulled up next to them near 47th Street, said Police News Affairs [...]. The 22-year-old man then began firing shots at them, and the officers returned fire [...].
No one was injured, and the officers began chasing their attacker's vehicle north. During the pursuit, the shooter threw the gun he had been using out of the Mercury,....
Once again, thank god no officers were injured.
