Two Chicago police officers shot a man who pointed a gun at them Saturday afternoon on the South Side.
The suspect's gun was later determined to be fake and narcotics were found in his possession, police said.
About 2 p.m., the Grand Crossing District tactical unit officers were on patrol at East 71st Street and South Saint Lawrence Avenue -- an area known for drug activity police say -- when they approached the suspect, a 20-year-old man, leaving a liquor store. The man then saw the officers and ran north from the store, police said.
The officers went after the man who, soon thereafter, hopped a fence of his home in the 7000 block of South Saint Lawrence, where he turned around and pointed his gun at them, police said. The officers then opened fire, wounding the suspect in his legs.
Haha....Dumbass
Almost a perfect ending. Good job by all involved.
