An armed man was seriously wounded by police Friday night after officers were called to a domestic disturbance in the Chatham neighborhood on the South Side, Chicago police said.

Shortly before 8 p.m., officers responded to a domestic disturbance in the 7900 block of South Ingleside Avenue where a man was armed with a knife and a gun, police said.
When officers arrived, the man tried to flee the scene and opened fire in the direction of officers. Two officers returned fire striking the suspect multiple times to the body, police said.

Both officers rendered medical help to the man before he was taken to UChicago Medicine where he was listed in serious condition, police said. The suspect remains in custody at the hospital. A firearm was recovered at the scene, police said.

Prior to the police-involved shooting, a 23-year-old woman suffered two gunshot wounds to the arm. She also was taken to the same hospital and listed in good condition.

The use of police force was under investigation by the Civilian Office of Accountibility and the officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative duties during COPA’s investigation.
