No one was injured Friday when a Chicago police officer opened fire on a car wanted in connection with a murder.
Officers attempted to pull the person over around 5:30 p.m. in the 1700 block of West 47th Street but the driver continued to drive. An officer then fired his gun and struck the driver’s car, causing them to stop, Chicago police said in a statement.
The driver fled the car and was arrested nearby, police said.
One officer was taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, according to police.
The police department said at least one officer would be placed on routine administrative duty for 30 days, per department policy, as the Civilian Office of Police Accountability investigates the use of force.
