An officer shot a juvenile, who was holding a gun, in the 7200 block of South Artesian Avenue. The person shot was a teenager who suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to the hospital in fair condition, the Chicago Fire Department said."COPA investigators reviewed and have obtained video footage from the incident, and we can confirm body-worn camera of the officer captures the shooting," said COPA First Deputy Chief Administrator Ephraim Eaddy.
One neighbor who wanted to remain anonymous, said she heard three gunshot before a swarm of officers responded to the scene. Her solution is for people to "get to church, get into the Bible. Do something different with your life. Life is too short. They don't buy you life."
