per radio, multiple victims, including a critically injured police officer. shooter is in custody, i believe.

maybe 6 people shot.

just another day in america. sigh.

Sounds like the shooters went to a seminar in "lean" - getting the victims to the hospital even quicker by shooting them on hospital property. Maybe next they'll just shoot them in the OR?

a chicago police officer and several other people, including the apparent shooter, were wounded in an attack at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center on the South Side that brought out a large police presence Monday afternoon, authorities said.

The officer was critically injured in the shooting about 3:20 p.m. at the hospital at 2525 S. Michigan Ave. in the Bronzeville neighborhood, a police spokesman said. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center.

“He is in critical condition but receiving excellent care,” police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. “Please send your prayers.”

In a tweet, Guglielmi said there were “reports of multiple victims” in the attack. At last four people were believed shot, according to an official.

“At least one possible offender is shot,” Guglielmi said in another tweet.

An emergency medical services Plan III was called, sending at least 15 ambulances to the scene, for an “active shooter” situation, a Fire Department spokesman said.

About 4:40 p.m., the hospital announced by tweet that police had secured the hospital “and patients are safe.”

I expect this shit to happen at a school. Not at a safe place like a hospital.
