South Side Shooting

  • A man was fatally shot by an on-duty Chicago Police officer Thursday afternoon in the Hamilton Park neighborhood on the South Side.

    A police officer shot and injured a man shortly before 7 p.m. at the intersection of 70th Street and Eggleston Avenue, according to Mark Payne, spokesman for the Independent Police Review Authority, which investigates police-involved shootings.

    Police observed a traffic violation in the 7000 block of South Eggleston Avenue and attempted to pull over the vehicle, when two men inside ditched the vehicle and fled in different directions, according to a statement from police News Affairs.

The rest of the article sounds like an attempted disarming, which seems to be happening with more and more frequency.
