A man was shot by Chicago police in the Pullman neighborhood in the early hours of Thursday morning, as confirmed by reports from the scene. According to ABC7 Chicago, the incident occurred in the 900-block of East 100th Street, but details were initially scarce, with neither the circumstances leading up to the shooting nor information about potential injuries immediately available.
Emerging details from a WGN News source indicated that the shooting happened just after 7:15 a.m., involving a man who was subsequently transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center. The man reportedly sustained serious injuries, but as of yet, it remained unclear what prompted the police to discharge their weapons in this residential part of Chicago's South Side.
Authorities have not released the identity of the injured man or the officers involved in the shooting. Both local news sources have stated that an investigation is underway to uncover the sequence of events that led to the police-involved shooting. The area was quickly cordoned off with yellow tape with several police squad cars attending the scene.
