Man Charged With Trying To Carjack Police Officer

Incident Led To Police Shooting

CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) ― A man shot and wounded by an off-duty Chicago Police officer when he allegedly tried to carjack the officer's personal car Tuesday morning on the West Side has been charged.

David Reed, 27, of 4917 W. Maypole Ave., was charged with attempted vehicular hijacking and aggravated discharge of a firearm, according to a police report. Charges were approved at 1:19 p.m. Wednesday, according to the report.

The off-duty officer was driving a black BMW 745 series sedan when he was the apparent victim of an attempted carjacking about 5:38 a.m, Tuesday, police said.

The officer fired his weapon in the 4500 block of West Harrison Street, striking the man identified as Reed, who was found in the 4700 block of Harrison, Independent Police Review Authority spokesman Mark Payne said.

The officer shot the suspect in the leg while he was on the street.

The injured man was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition, Fire Media Affairs spokesman Joe Roccasalva said.
No weapon was recovered from the scene as of Tuesday morning, authorities said.

Harrison Area detectives and the IPRA are investigating.
