Chicago, IL – A Chicago Police Department sergeant was shot in the parking lot of the department’s 6th District station Sunday afternoon.
The shooting happened at around 2:45 p.m. in the 7800 block of South Halsted Street, according to WLS.
No details about what led up to the shooting have been released at this time.
Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown tweeted that a Chicago Police Sergeant sustained a graze wound to the chin area while standing in the parking lot at the police station.
No suspects are in custody, according to Superintendent Brown.
I’m visiting with the sergeant at the hospital, who is recovering in good spirits. Our officers display an enormous level of resiliency and put themselves in harm’s way each and every day, whether it’s responding to a call or simply standing in their own parking lot.
