The Chicago Police Department and the Civilian Office of Police Accountability are investigating officer-involved shooting that happened Saturday morning on the north side of town.

Officers exchanged gunfire with an armed suspect after responding to the scene of an earlier shooting, police said.

A 39-year-old victim was shot around 9:35 a.m. as they walked in the 2600 block of West Farwell Avenue, Chicago police said. An armed perpetrator approached the victim from behind and shot him in the shoulder. Officers and paramedics arrived as neighbors in the area immediately rendered aid to the victim as the suspect ran away.

Around 9:55 a.m., the 23-year-old male perpetrator emerged from an alley and fired shots at the officers and paramedics, police said. The suspect continued to exchange gunfire with officers for about two minutes, Chicago police officials said.

The perpetrator was shot multiple times by officers in the 6800 block of North Washtenaw Avenue, police said. Officers rendered aid to the man and he was taken to a local hospital, where he was initially listed in critical condition.

The 39-year-old victim was treated for his gunshot wound and has since been released from the hospital, police said. The gender and identity of the victim were not immediately known.

No police officers or CFD members were injured in the incident, CPD said. No further information was immediately available. CPD and COPA continue to investigate.
