CHICAGO (STMW) – A suspect was wounded during a police-involved shooting early Saturday in the South Side Chatham neighborhood.

The police-involved shooting occurred at 11 p.m. in the 9300 block of South Vernon Avenue, said Police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer, citing preliminary information.

No officers were injured but a suspect was wounded, Greer said.

Scott Ando, a spokesperson for the police Independent Review Authority, which investigates all police-involved shootings, confirmed the shooting.

Fraternal Order of Police spokesman Pat Camden said police were responding to a domestic disturbance call and found a man with a gun in the backyard. Police identified themselves and told the man to drop the gun. The man raised the gun and officers fired at him. He was struck several times and suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Two guns were recovered at the scene, Camden said. The man had a gun in his hand and inside his pocket.

Area South detectives are investigating.

    Back to the range with you. You’re not shooting much stratghter then the monkeys on the street. Wounding does not do it.

    Another homey hit! If this keeps up, they might actually kill one….we can only hope.

  • bowhunter

    What is the problem? Don’t the people of Chicago know it is against the law to carry a gun in the city.

  • Leroy Goldberg

    Wounded? Wounded is not good enough. Dead! Dead is best.

    Hoth- I can care less what your background is (though you have described yourself in the past as black, and I’m not getting that from your twisted, liberal views). All In know is that you represent a point of view that is not based on reality. What we bring up on this board are startling numbers: 15% of the population nationally committing about 75% of all violent crimes. We speak of the inherent unfairness along with how those shocking numbers are represented and perceived. Of course you would hang out in circles where people support your point of view and we do the same, so no dying breed here. We don’t perpetuate and nuture hate, we just point out said reality and it hurts. Since you’re in the minority (pun intended) here, I’d recommend going to another web site and maybe grow a pair and stop hitting “report comment”. Most of the time the CBS censors get a laugh and ignore you as well.

    [...] a sawed-off shotgun. On Friday, March 23, there was another shooting involving a police officer in Chatham. And on March 25, Chicago officers in Lawndale fatally shot another man, who they say pulled a gun [...]

    YApe- I thought the same thing as that is a typical mutt Hoth statement. He loves to correct people but shows off his ghetto education when he adds a single ” in his headline (which makes no sense). The ones that believe they are more educated than the rest still always allow the ghetto to come out when speaking and writing.

  • THEE Yard Ape

    @Just- spot on my friend. You could take just about anyone of these “edumacated” negros, and as soon as you throw them into the ‘hood with their homies, it doesn’t take long for the ni @@ er to come out!! For the REAL educated blacks, or as I call them, “the few & the proud” (no offense to the marine corp.) this does not ring true, but that number is so miniscule it really doesn’t register any percentile.

  • Hoth Industries

    POS JUST, dude, when was the last time you heard a black guy say ‘jag’? For your information, and for those who seem to be confused by my background, I am of German-Irish descent; I am not a black guy (you so erroneously presumed) simply because I do not conform to your ideals of how whites or blacks speak, write, or think. You guys are a thankfully dying breed: 80-something year old who have nothing better to do than stroke each other’s out-dated mode of thought with regard to the black community. It’s POSs like you who perpetuate and nurture hate to an appalling, sickening heights.

  • Leroy Goldberg

    LOL

  • THEE Yard Ape

    Well looky here, Miss High N Mighty. This disclosure of white, liberal elitism will certainly earn you some bonus points. We perpetuate hate?? Just what does this species that you adamantly defend perpetuate?? Shouldn’t you be marching with Pfleger??
