A police-involved shooting was reported Friday morning in Chicago’s West Pullman neighborhood on the South Side, officials said.
The incident involved a joint operation between the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Fugitive Task Force and the Chicago Police Department, the marshals office confirmed.
Chicago Police Chief of Detectives Gene Roy said the shooting happened around 9:20 a.m. after officers with the Chicago Police Department's fugitive aprehension unit tried to take a man wanted for robbery into custody.
The man attempted to flee police and at one point stopped and pointed a weapon at police officers, Roy said. The officer fired several shots, striking the suspect.
The suspect tried to dispose of his gun and continue running, but ultimately collapsed, Roy said. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in stable condition.
Roy said a weapon was recovered near the scene.
Police confirmed some marshals were at the scene as part of the team but were not involved in the shooting.
