Police-Involved Shooting On South Side

CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) ― A 35-year-old man was hospitalized Friday evening after being shot just blocks from a police-involved shooting on the South Side.

A man was shot in the 11300 block of South Emerald Avenue before 7 p.m., according to police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli. As responding officers investigated the shooting, shots were fired at the police in the 11000 block of South Union Avenue, Mirabelli said.

No officers were injured.

Officers recovered an AK-47 assault rifle from the Union Avenue address, Mirabelli said.

A 35-year-old man was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in "trauma" condition from the Emerald Avenue address, Fire Media Affairs spokesman Joe Roccasalva said.

It was not clear whether the man was shot by police or another individual.
