Here are the details on that recently report.

CHICAGO, IL – A Chicago Police officer was reportedly non-fatally shot during the afternoon of March 14th, not far from the 6th District police station in the Gresham neighborhood.
As of this writing, police don’t have any suspects in custody, nor has the identity of the injured officer been released.
The incident occurred at approximately 2:30 p.m. on March 14th, while a Chicago Police sergeant was in the parking lot across the street from the 6th District station located on 7808 S. Halsted Street.
Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown described the sustained injury as a “superficial graze wound”. Superintendent Brown said that the graze wound wound up striking the police sergeant’s chin:
“One of our sergeants heard a gunshot, and then felt pain in his chin area on his face.”
Following the shooting, the police sergeant was transported to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where the police sergeant was released from the hospital later that evening on March 14th.
Detectives are reportedly reviewing available security camera footage from the Gresham police district – as well as other available video evidence captured nearby.
Currently, police officials have not made any arrests in this case, nor has there been any mention of possible suspects or persons of interest as of this writing.
Following the shooting incident, Superintendent Brown relayed the following on Twitter, noting that that the police sergeant marks the thirteenth officer shot this year in Chicago:
“I’m visiting with the sergeant at the hospital, who is recovering in good spirits. Our officers display an enormous level of resiliency and put themselves in harm’s way each and every day, whether it’s responding to a call or simply standing in their own parking lot.”
“The sergeant marks the 13th officer shot or shot at so far this year. 79 CPD officers who were shot/shot at in all of 2020. God bless the men and women of the Chicago Police Department and all officers throughout our country who risk their lives for our safety each and every day.”
This is an ongoing investigation.
“As black bodies drop like flies around us by violent hands!”
Meanwhile in Chicago........... Realities re the killers/cause of Black death stats are shown below:

Chicago is worthy of a better mayor. For that matter, so is civilization in general.
Gun Controlled Chicago....
Imagine how bad Chicago would be without Mayor Lightfoot’s gun control enforcement. Scary.
The gun did not shoot anyone or cause the violence.
The broken, out of control people who armed themselves did the shooting.
Fix the people and the “gun violence” will disappear.
When, for God’s sake, are they going to call in the Somali Peace Keeping Force? It is the only solution.
All black on black
Otherwise its all we would have seen on the news
No biggie then, libs cant exploit it for their various groups they hate, whites, republicans, men, gun owners
They can’t do that. Guns are illegal in Chicago
Worse than most 3rd world s*hole cities.
Someone in sports (Casey Stengel?) said “statistics are for losers”. On this jackass chart all of these people are statistical losers. It is way past time for blacks to realize that these statistics don’t lie and clean up the streets where they live. Cops are responsible less than 1% of these shootings and deaths.
I’m out AFs to give. This is why I live in the woods of Northern Wisconsin.
Mayor Lighthead - the most incompetent Mayor in the History of Chicago is using the Chicago Police to break up St. Paddy’s Day Parties in Northside Neighborhoods. While the South and West sides [Lighthead voters] are seriously understaffed.
If all the guns in Chicago would poof disappear tomorrow, by nightfall those same people would be doing their mayhem thing with machetes and clubs.
My opinion ....
Body count rises with winter diminishing..
Mayor Lightfoot’s gun-controlled Chicago: 39 shot, 4 killed, with 15 victims injured in single shooting incidentAlternate headline:
4 removed from Social Security rolls; 35 added to permanent disability payments
I bet it’s those darn white supremacists again!
Good source really identifies the areas to avoid where this stuff is happening.
Agreed. When will they be stopped from destroying the black community!
Oprah like owns Chicago, right?
It’s such a great city.
BeetleJuice is waaaay down on the kill quota, and it’s Big Daddy in hell ain’t real happy bout that. He wants to see that kill rate higher with even more publicity (he loves publicity). IF it don’t happen, ole BeetleJuice will end up being replaced by another demon that will make it happen the way Big Daddy wants it to happen. /S
