An off-duty Chicago police officer shot at armed suspects in the Washington Park neighborhood early Sunday, according to officials.
The officer was confronted by one of the gunmen in the 100 block of East 57th Street shortly before 2 a.m. It was initially unclear who opened fire first. At least one more offender fired shots in the officer's direction, according to police. The suspects then fled, with no injuries reported.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability and the Investigative Response Team were investigating the scene. Anyone with information is urged to call the COPA office at 312-746-3609 or visit chicagocopa.org.
