CHICAGO (CBS) -- A Chicago woman received an early Christmas present, thanks to a special delivery by a Chicago officer.

Earl Thursday morning, officers were responding to a shooting in the 17th District. 

According to a CPD Facebook post, Sergeant. Sullins and P.O. Pelayo attended to the man before getting them to a hospital.

While on the scene, Field Training Officer (FTO) Christopher "was waved down by residents who led her to a woman in labor, just four doors down."

Shortly afterward, Christopher helped to deliver a healthy baby girl. Both mother and baby were taken to Swedish Covenant Hospital. They, and the dad, are said to be doing well.
