A person was shot and a Chicago police officer injured during a police SWAT response Thursday afternoon in Mount Greenwood.

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.
