Cops OK, Offender Not So Much (Updated)

And another police shooting:

• A man was fatally shot Friday night by police in Chicago's East Garfield Park neighborhood, officials said.

  At about 11p.m., officers were patrolling an area near Ohio Street and Homan Avenue when they saw a large crowd disturbance, police said. As officers approached, the crowd began to disperse, police said. Officers then saw a male, who began to walk away from the scene, produce a handgun, police said. The suspect fled westbound on Ohio Street, then northbound on Christiana Avenue into an alley on the block, police said.

  During the chase, the suspect turned and pointed the weapon at officers, said police. At this point, an officer opened fire and shot the suspect, fatally wounding him. A weapon was recovered from the scene, police said.

All officers reportedly OK.

UPDATE: And another one, this time down south:

• Police responded to calls of several shots fired in the 200 block of East 114th Place, according to a police News Affairs release. When officers arrived on scene, they found a male armed with a shotgun standing in the doorway of a health clinic.

  As police approached the male, he pointed the shotgun at his own chest, the release said. Officers repeatedly told the male to drop the weapon, but he refused. An officer then attempted to disarm the male at which point the suspect pointed the shotgun at officers. As a result, officers shot the male, the release said.

Based on his initial threats to himself, this will probably be labeled a "suicide by police."
