Man killed, suspected shooter shot by Chicago police officer, in Uptown
A man was shot and killed, and the suspected shooter was in turn shot by Chicago police, on Monday night in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood.
Police said a 63-year-old man got into an argument with a man he knew near Clark and Ainslie streets, near St. Boniface Cemetery, just before 8:30 p.m. Police said during the confrontation, the man pulled out a gun and shot the 63-year-old multiple times, killing him.
Police said the suspect ran north on Clark Street, leading officers on a foot chase before being located in the 1400 block of West Argyle Street, just east of Clark Street. Investigators say during the chase, the suspect turned towards officers and raised a gun.
At that point, officers opened fire, police said.
The suspect was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston and remained in critical condition early Tuesday.
Three officers were also taken to the hospital for observation and are expected to recover.
As investigators tried to piece together what happened, dozens of evidence markers, and what appeared to be bloody clothing, could be seen scattered across the crime scene.
A homeowner told CBS News Chicago he saw his condo board president arguing with another man he's seen around here several times before. Police have not confirmed the identities of anyone involved.
Police said they were able to recover a weapon from the suspect, but have not shared any information about him.
