A Chicago police officer was shot and wounded while responding to a hostage situation overnight at an apartment building in the West Side's Lawndale neighborhood that also was the scene of an extra-alarm fire, authorities said.
After lengthy negotiations with the man, the woman, 42, tried to flee the apartment through the front door, at which time the man fired several shots, striking the woman, police said.
As she ran out the front door, she collided with SWAT officers who were in the hallway, knocking them to the ground. That caused one of the officers to accidentally discharge his weapon, and shoot himself in the foot, police said.
[...] The wounded officer, an 18-year veteran, was reported in fair condition at Mt. Sinai Hospital this morning, officials said.
