A Chicago police officer was shot in the hand while responding to a report of a shooting on Saturday morning, which shot her the third police officer, just this week in the city.
Police Superintendent David Brown in Chicago said the officer is in a good mood but in a lot of pain.
After the officer was shot, police fired gunfire at someone who shot out of the window on the first floor of a house. A SWAT team set up a perimeter and negotiators were able to get the man out of the house and into custody without further incident.
