Fleeing Suspects Exchange Gunfire With Police
CHICAGO (CBS)--At least one suspect exchanged gunfire with police early Monday morning on Chicago's South Side.
Two suspects fled from officers near 102nd Street and Wentworth Avenue around 2:30 a.m. Monday. At least one of the suspects fired at police, and officers fired back, police said.
Police dogs and a police helicopter were deployed to search for the suspects, but no one was in custody Monday morning.
Evidence markers dotted the street as heavily-armed officers saturated the area looking for evidence.
The huge show of force is part of a change in strategy by police and comes in response to last weekend's violence where 66 people were shot and 12 were killed.
In response to the violence police added hundreds more officers in five violence-prone districts on the south and west sides.
