Person critically wounded by police in East Side shooting
Sam Charles, Chicago Tribune
A person was shot and critically wounded by a Chicago police officer in the city’s East Side neighborhood Friday afternoon, officials and police sources said.
Authorities said the shooting occurred about 1:45 p.m. in the 11400 block of South Avenue G near Eggers Grove near the state line. The Civilian Office of Police Accountability initially said the shooting occurred in the 3800 block of East 112th Street.
In a statement, Chicago police said an officer with the South Chicago District and a Forest Preserves of Cook County police officer responded to a call of a male armed with a knife chasing someone.
Upon arrival, the city officer was approached by a male wielding a knife who “then quickly advanced toward” the officer, according to the statement. Police said the officer attempted to distance himself from the man in an attempt to de-escalate the situation, but that the officer fired a shot.
The man, of unknown age, was struck somewhere on the body and the officers applied a tourniquet before he was transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center and initially reported in critical condition.

I imagine he was struck somewhere on the body where a tourniquet would do some good. This level of detail seems beyond the reporter’s capabilities so why mention it in the first, never mind.

Understandable why she fired him, and he didn’t take it well. At least his aggression issues have been resolved. Thanks, Gun Bunny.
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.

‘Ol Blaze the MMA guy went out in a blaze of dumbassery.
Another knife to a gunfight. *yawn* Another reporter that can’t “report”. *sigh*
And we have another Flur-Ruh-Duh Man that doesn’t understand that when she is no longer into you, someone’s bullet may be. The Blaze of their love, like him, has been snuffed out.
Is that why my tummy is growling so loud, Plato? ’cause it’s empty. Bacon infused cat headed biskets y’all?
Each failure will get you closer to success. Good for us that those guys never gave up.
Never bench rest a 7mm rifle on a propane tank, full or empty, without some VERY good hearing protection.
Apparently everything Biden signed, with one exception, was via autopen. His withdrawal from the election was hand signed. The rest was done by who knows whom.
Legal, supposedly. But c’mon man! Sketchy, sketchy, sketchy.
An one wonders what else might turn up as “signed by Biden”.
