Officers assigned to Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s security detail were involved in an exchange of gunfire early Tuesday morning, intervening during an alleged robbery in progress in Logan Square.
In a preliminary statement, Chicago Police Department officials said it doesn't appear anyone was struck by gunfire during the shooting, which occurred around 7 a.m. Tuesday in the 1800 block of North Monticello Avenue.
According to the department’s statement, on-duty officers assigned to the detached services unit observed a robbery in progress and encountered multiple suspects, at least one of whom was armed.
At that point, “an exchange of gunfire ensued,” police said, and the suspects fled the scene.
CPD spokesperson Thomas Ahern later confirmed to WTTW News in an email that the officers involved in the shooting were members of Lightfoot’s security detail.

Was she robbing a store?
Chicago can’t aim. They just spray bullets in a general direction. First one out of ammo runs away. All the wounded bystanders go to the hospital.
I want a raise.
If by store you mean Chicago.
This indicates a problem, at least for the LE side of this.
So… good guys with a gun stopped the robbery.
But only if you’re of the chosen few?
I hate Democrats.
They knew if they said she was in her underwear it would be avoided at all costs
But only if you’re of the chosen few?
You are only considered a 'good guy' if you are wearing a magical blue suit while firing your weapon randomly in an urban environment.
reap what you sow... and I hope they let the criminals back out immediately to pray upon more liberals until they finally GET IT.
glad they’d rather play gunz wi the criminals than protect the Groot...
I smell a Smollet.
If the Democrats are serious about disarming us, they ought to lead by example and get rid of their armed security ... Bwhahahahahahaha
“... it doesn’t appear anyone was struck by gunfire...”
Wounded buildings and cars.
The biggest part of this story is that Lightfoot has a security detail. She denies police protection to the law-abiding of that city while she has 24-hour protection. And, it is not just a couple of officers either. She has practically an entire precinct surrounding her wherever she goes. (I’m exaggerating on that last bit, but not by much).
“Gunfights” where nobody gets hit are for wimps. Marshall Dillion would be laughing his ass off. The Sissy Boyz vs. the Girly Menz.
Ironic because Robert Conrad of Wild Wild West grew up on the streets of Chicago. When people asked what his unique style of martial arts was he called it Chicago street fighting.
If ugly Groot wasn’t shot, her security team needs range time...
