One person has been taken to a local hospital after Chicago police reportedly fired shots in the city's Back of the Yards neighborhood Monday morning.

Initial reports of shots fired in the 5400 block of South Hermitage came in a little before 10:30 a.m.

Chicago fire officials confirmed to CBS News Chicago that one person was transported to a hospital after the incident. But the fire department referred us to Chicago police and the US Marshals for more information.

A white police vehicle was pulled up partially on the curb and the patch of grass between a home and the street behind a black car. Outside the black car, personal belongings could be see on the ground.

CBS News Chicago has reached out to both CPD and the US Marshals and is waiting to hear back.
