Interim Supt. Beck stated in a press conference moments ago that the officer shot is in his early 40s, and opted to pursue the offender instead of going right to the hospital.
Chicago-One notes the officer was involved in an undercover narcotics and gun trafficking operation, though Beck stated he couldn't say what kind of operation the officer was part of. The presence of the Narcotics Section Commander was the tip-off here.
When asked what agencies are involved, he refused to say.
The trauma surgeon said the officer will likely go home tomorrow.
The homicide and a separate crash scene near the hospital were both not connected to this incident.
