Two police officers were shot Saturday at the Swedish Hospital in Chicago’s Ravenswood neighborhood.
Details of what led to the shooting are not known, but ABC 7 reported that it occurred around 11:00 a.m.
NBC 5 noted that police took a suspect to the hospital “to be checked out before going to jail for a separate offense before the shooting broke out.” The suspect then fled the scene and was apprehended about an hour later.
The New York Post pointed out that the wounded officers are in critical condition. (NBC 5’s reporting differs from other outlets’ by saying that one of the officers is deceased.)
The hospital went on lockdown protocol after the shooting.
