Two Officers Wounded Serving Warrant
Two Chicago police officers were shot and wounded while trying to serve a search warrant. Two suspects have been taken into custody but no charges have been filed yet.
Both officers are in good condition and should make a full recovery.
Two tactical officers, dressed in plain clothes, entered the rear of the home around 12:20 a.m. in a search for weapons, authorities said. According to police Superintendent Jody Weis, the officers identified themselves as police and were shot at from behind a closed door.
A 41-year old tactical officer, who has been on the force seven years, was shot in the arm, Weis said. A 38-year-old officer, a six-year veteran, was wounded in the arm and leg.
Two men were arrested at the scene. Police recovered an assault rifle and several handguns at the home.
