9 Killed, 58 Wounded In Weekend Shootings Across Chicago

CHICAGO (CBS) -- At least 67 people were shot over the weekend in Chicago, including a police officer who was wounded in a shooting in the South Shore neighborhood. Nine of the victims of this weekend's gun violence have died.

Police said the officer was shot just a block away when a shooting broke out around 10:50 p.m. Friday near 72nd Place and Jeffery Boulevard. They said there was a confrontation in a building, where two people had just gotten home with a pizza.

An 18-year-old man was shot and killed. A 15-year-old boy was also shot, and is in fair condition at the University of Chicago's' Comer Children's hospital.

Police said when an officer arrived on scene, she got out of her squad car, and felt pain in her leg. She realized she'd been shot, and drove herself to University of Chicago Medical Center.

"I'm taking myself to the hospital. I'm taking myself. U of C!" the officer told a dispatcher over her police radio.

Sources said she received staples and stitches, later expressing gratitude to her fellow officers.

"I just want to say thank you to everybody that responded, and I'll be back soon," she said over the police radio.

Police said one of the four people involved in the confrontation shot the officer, but they would not say who that was.

Police Supt. David Brown said the officer has been released from the hospital, and is recovering at home.

The wounded officer's name hasn't publicly been released, but police said she's 30 years old, and has been on the job two years. She's the 12th CPD officer shot this year, and the 46th shot at.
