Harvey Mayor's Security Fires Shots at Robbery Suspect in Chicago
Harvey Mayor's Security Fires Shots at Robbery Suspect in Chicago
A security detail for Harvey Mayor Christopher Clark fired shots at a masked individual who pointed a weapon at them during an attempted robbery on Chicago's North Side, officials said Wednesday.
According to a statement from the mayor's office, the incident occurred just before 2 p.m. Wednesday.
Members of the mayor's security detail observed a man, wearing a black ski mask, exit a Jeep and point a gun at an 86-year-old man in an attempted robbery in the 1500 block of North Halsted.
That security detail then exited their vehicle near the mayor's residence and attempted to intercept the suspect. The man then pointed his weapon at the security officers, and at least one of the officers then opened fire, striking the Jeep.

It will be interesting to see how Chicago handles this.
