One injured, four more arrested in Humboldt Park police shooting
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Five people are in custody after a shootout with police on Chicago's West Side.
Police say around 5 p.m. Saturday in the 600 block of North Central Park officers encountered a vehicle that had evaded a traffic stop earlier.
The driver then pulled into a garage and an armed person got out of the vehicle. Officers then followed that person onto the back porch of a home and gave repeated orders to drop the weapon.
That's when an officer shot the armed person.
The person shot was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
When asked police would not say if the armed person pointed the gun at officers.
Four others were arrested. Three were in the car, and one was inside the home at the time.
Two weapons were recovered at the scene.
No officers were shot, but those involved in the incident were taken to a local hospital for observation, police said.
