Off-duty CPD officer involved in shootout with attempted carjackers on Far South Side; COPA investigating<\/a><\/p>\n

CHICAGO \u2014 An attempted carjacking led to a shootout between suspects and an off-duty Chicago police officer on the city\u2019s Far South Side.<\/p>\n

According to police, at least one suspect is in custody and the officer was not injured.<\/p>\n

The shooting happened around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday when an off-duty officer was confronted by armed offenders in the 10800 block of S. Campbell Ave., and an exchange of gunfire ensued.<\/p>\n

A home security camera captures a dark-colored vehicle speeding down the street, and gunfire can be heard shortly after.<\/p>\n

Not long after the shooting occurs, the video shows an alleged suspect running from 108th and South Campbell. The suspects had just attempted to carjack an off-duty police officer, according to police.<\/p>\n

The vehicle was shot up and a number of evidence markers and shell casings were placed around the vehicle as police investigated the scene.<\/p>\n

A car was found abandoned not far from the shooting, and is believed to have been stolen from Lansing and used in a number of other crimes in the area.<\/p>\n

The West Beverly neighborhood is home to a large population of Chicago firefighters and police officers.<\/p>\n

Ald. Matt O\u2019Shea says he knows the officer involved. He said the officer has about 25 years on the job and is a family man who coaches kids sports teams.<\/p>\n

The alderman says more than one suspect involved ran from the scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
