A person was shot and a Chicago police officer injured during a police SWAT response Thursday afternoon in Mount Greenwood.
Paramedics responded about 3:45 p.m. to the 11000 block of South Millard Avenue, where there was an ongoing SWAT incident, and transported the individual with a gunshot wound to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, a Chicago Fire Department spokesperson said. Their condition was unknown.
The police officer was taken to Little Company of Mary Hospital for a “very minor issue,” the spokesperson said. It wasn’t immediately known how the officer was injured.
It wasn’t clear what prompted the SWAT response. Chicago police did not immediately respond to a request for information.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability, which investigates all police shootings, said it responded to the scene and is investigating.
