Three masked bandits and a store clerk were wounded in a wild shootout that occurred after officers were alerted to a robbery on the city's West Side, officials said.
Authorities said it was unclear whether the four were wounded by Chicago police, who arrived to witness the shooting, or by the men themselves, as the gunfire spilled out into the streets of the South Austin neighborhood.
Officers fired on the men after arriving to witness one man firing on three outside a beauty supply business in the 5100 block of West Lake Street -- adjacent to the CTA Green Line's Laramie station -- at about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, officials said.No officers were injured in the shooting.
That's all that really matters there - no cops hurt. Nice job Austin.
