Two Held, One Flees After Shots Fired at Chicago Police
March 06--A man fleeing from Chicago police fired shots at officers this morning in the East Garfield Park neighborhood on the West Side.
No one was injured and police did not return fire when it happened about 10:55 a.m. in the 700 block of North Christiana Avenue, according to Chicago Police Department Harrison District Police Lt. John Andrews.
When officers tried to stop three people suspected of having illegal drugs, one of them ran away, said Andrews. While officers pursued him, he pulled a gun and began firing.
No one was struck by gunfire and officers did not return fire, said the lieutenant.
The gunman threw the gun onto a roof nearby and police recovered it. Two of the three were arrested.
