Authorities were reporting multiple victims in an “active shooter” attack in the area of Mercy Hospital on the Near South Side that brought out a large police presence Monday afternoon. Emergency crews were called to near the hospital, 2525 S. Michigan Ave., about 3:20 p.m. There were “reports of multiple victims” in the attack, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a tweet. Fire officials called an emergency medical services Plan II, sending at least 10 ambulances to the scene, because of an “active shooter” situation, a Fire Department spokesman said. A hospital employee said she was in her office when a notice came over a public address system telling those in the hospital to lock their doors. They were later evacuated and people were put on CTA buses as authorities dealt with the situation. “I don’t know what happened,” she said as she was ushered onto a bus. “They told us to run so we did,” one hospital employee said. Authorities were warning people to stay out of the area. Fire crews were at the scene. Check back for updates.

Thank you for posting this...Sadly, very little attention on this thread given the the victims.

This officer, father of 3, was a great role model not only to his children but the community.

Chicago’s loss. Sad.

Aww, did they make the “Gun-Free Zone” signs too small again?

DO NOT ask me to have sympathy for Chitcagoans. They can move. I’ve been out of work and deep in debt and still moved 2000 miles on the off chance of making a new life.

I’m trying to picture an INactive shooter. Would that be someone who lies on the couch eating doughnuts until time to shoot?

Set up your claymores on the loading dock and the ambulance entrances

Trip wire those babes and they will never know what hit them and remember: “this side towards enemy”.
