Police Shooting (Updated - Another)

Once again, an offender comes out on the losing end of a shootout:

• A Chicago police shot and wounded a person who had opened fire on the officer on the South Side Monday night, police said.

  At about 9 p.m., Calumet Area Gun Team officers tried to conduct a field interview with a male in the 6900 block of South King Drive, according to a statement from police early Tuesday morning.

  As the officers approached and announced their office, the person fled on foot. The officers gave chase into a vacant lot in the vicinity of 6900 S. Vernon Ave. As one officer emerged from the lot, he was met by the suspect, who opened fire. The officer returned fire, striking the suspect, according to the police statement.

Reports from the scene are the offender expired. Nothing official yet, but all looks good on our end.

UPDATE: More shooting down south:
