Police respond to report of active shooter at Chicago hospital
Police were responding to reports of shots fired at Mercy Hospital in Chicago on Monday afternoon.
Anthony Guglielmi, chief communications officer for the Chicago Police Department, said there are reports of multiple victims on Twitter Tuesday.
One suspect was shot as searches of the area were continuing, authorities said. Mercy Hospital is 26 blocks south of the Chicago Loop.
A Chicago police officer and multiple other people, including an apparent shooter, were wounded in an “active shooter” attack at Mercy Hospital on the Near South Side that brought out a large police presence Monday afternoon, authorities said.
The officer was critically injured in the shooting attack at and near the hospital, 2525 S. Michigan Ave., about 3:20 p.m., a police spokesman said.
Thoughts and prayers.
Yep - that will solve all these mass shootings. GUN CONTROL NOW!
Oh god.
Inb4 the inevitable stream of "see what a violent city Chicago is?!" posts despite the fact that there are other US cities with a much higher murder rate.
Chicago has strict gun control, already.
It also exists in an impenetrable bubble where no guns can enter city limits. /s
Police officer got shot again? Good guy with a gun?
well, at least we know medical attention is immediate

So then what's the point? The laws will still only apply to 'people that obey the laws.' :doh
It's a hopeless situation. There's nothing that can be done.
Altho it seems worse, violent crime has been going down every year in the US.
However if you want to reduce this specific type of violence, and of course we all do, we have to figure out how and why we are creating these POS male losers that feel the need to blame everyone else for their problems and failures.
Caveat: I am speaking to 'active shooters' and their very common profile. I dont know that this has been confirmed as an 'active shooter' scenario yet...it could have been a drug dealer going in to hit a competitor for all I know at this time.
