A Chicago police officer is in serious but stable condition Friday after being shot multiple times by a convicted felon while responding to a domestic violence call, police say.
The wounded male officer, who has served 15 years with Chicago Police, was ambushed while trying to make his way to a home around 8:30 a.m. this morning in the city’s Near West Side neighborhood, according to Supt. David Brown.
"As officers arrived, they got on an elevator, went upstairs and as soon as they got off the elevator to go to the apartment they were fired upon by the offender," Brown said.
The suspect was later taken into custody and a gun was recovered at the scene, he added.
