A Chicago Police officer and a 15-year-old boy shot each other Wednesday night on the Far South Side, police said.
The 35-year-old officer was shot near his knee and the teen in his leg and side in the 1300 block of 112th Place, officials said.
About 8 p.m., plain clothes officers stopped three teenage boys for “suspicious activity,” police said. But the 15-year-old boy fired at the officers and “engaged in a gun battle,” said Police Supt. Garry McCarthy.
But at least two residents said the officer shot his gun first.
So now the Slum Times expects us to take the first bullet or two before we can legally eliminate the threat to our own lives? We must have missed that part of the State Law. Was this something Quinn added at some point after hours when no one was looking?
