A Chicago police officer who had just completed a shift was shot and killed in the city’s South Side Avalon Park neighborhood early Saturday morning, according to the Chicago Police Department.
Police received a call of shots fired at around 1:42 a.m. local time, interim Chicago police superintendent Eric Carter said at a Saturday news conference.
She died from her wounds early this morning, Carter said.
As of Saturday morning, no one is in custody and police continue to investigate the incident.
The officer had served on the force for three years, according to Carter.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot also addressed the killing:
“It’s unfortunate that we’re standing here again today to talk about another tragedy that has befallen one of our bravest citizens.” (CNN)
Blessed are those who stand between a civil society and CHAOS!
