A man shot by a Chicago cop in North Lawndale this week was running toward the officer and holding a gun after he fled from a street stop, the city’s police oversight agency said Wednesday.
The shooting happened about 11:35 a.m. Monday in the 2100 block of South St. Louis Avenue when two patrolling officers spotted a double-parked car and people standing around it, according to the Civilian Office of Police Accountability.
