CHICAGO — Police shot and wounded a man inside a police station after he walked inside shouting “anti-police sentiments” and pointed a gun wrapped in a plastic bag at officers, police Superintendent David Brown said Wednesday afternoon.
The shooting happened about 12:50 p.m. at the West Side station, 3315 W. Ogden Ave., after a man walked in and began “mumbling and ranting” in the lobby, Brown said at a news conference.
The man had a plastic bag in his hand, and an officer saw what appeared to be the barrel of a gun sticking out of the bag, Brown said. The man shouted anti-police sentiments and began to point the gun at officers working at the front desk.
