Chicago police shooting: Person shot by CPD in Little Village, COPA says

CHICAGO (WLS) — Chicago police officers shot a person in the Little Village neighborhood Monday.

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability confirmed they are investigating the police shooting in the 2100-block of S. St. Louis.

The Chicago Fire Department said they transported a person from the scene to Mt. Sinai Hospital with a bullet wound to the chest, where they are in serious condition.

Officials at nearby Crown Community Academy of Fine Arts said in a letter to parents that all children and staff were brought inside the school after administrators reported hearing shots fired in the area.

Crown’s principal said additional safety precautions will be put in place for afternoon dismissal with support from Chicago police and CPS security.
