Police Fatally Shoot Man In South Shore
(CBS) -- Chicago police shot and killed an 18-year-old man Friday night, after officers say he pointed a gun at them, reports WBBM's Mike Krauser.
Officers were responding to a call of shots fired near 71st and Paxton in the South Shore neighborhood when they spotted a van speeding away and began a pursuit.
According to police, the van sped down an alley and a passenger jumped out and began running while the van continued.
There was a foot chase and according to police the man pointed a gun at officers near 74th and Merrill and was shot to death by an officer.
He is identified as 18-year-old Jeffrey Kemp of the 7400 block of South Jeffery.
The van was found crashed nearby and the original shooting that officers were responding to involved a man who was wounded, so there were multiple crime scenes.
The Independent Police Review Authority is investigating by the officer. Police say a handgun was recovered near where Kemp fell in the street.
