Police say that officers were responding to the Little Village area on a report of four males standing in the street, stopping vehicles and pointing guns, when they were fired upon.

Mayor Brandon Johnson says “This brazen act of violence has no place in our communities. These individuals put our police officers and the entire neighborhood in danger by recklessly firing down a residential street. While we are relieved that no officers or residents were injured in this incident, this could have easily become a tragedy. The Chicago Police Department is investigating this incident, and we will provide updates as they become available. We must continue to double down on our efforts to get illegal guns off of our streets and to stem the flow of guns into our city.”

Agentes de la policía de Chicago que respondieron a una llamada en La Villita, en el suroeste de la ciudad, se convirtieron en blanco de un presunto tiroteo relacionado con pandillas, según informaron fuentes policiales.

La policía afirma que los agentes acudían a la zona de La Villita tras recibir un reporte de cuatro hombres que se encontraban en la calle, deteniendo vehículos y apuntando con armas, cuando fueron atacados a tiros.

El alcalde Brandon Johnson declaró: «Este descarado acto de violencia no tiene cabida en nuestras comunidades. Estos individuos pusieron en peligro a nuestros agentes de policía y a todo el vecindario al disparar imprudentemente en una calle residencial. Si bien nos alivia que ningún agente ni residente resultara herido en este incidente, esto fácilmente podría haberse convertido en una tragedia. El Departamento de Policía de Chicago está investigando este incidente y les informaremos sobre las novedades a medida que estén disponibles. Debemos seguir redoblando nuestros esfuerzos para erradicar las armas ilegales de nuestras calles y frenar el flujo de armas hacia nuestra ciudad».
