“I don’t have information that he was actually wanted for anything at this time, all I have at this point is that he was a suspicious person on a bike,” Johnson said.
After the two-person police unit attempted to stop them, the person allegedly fled on foot.
The foot chase led officers into an alley between Adriatic and Baltic avenues.
Once one of the officers caught up with the person, that officer fired and shot the person, Johnson said.
The person was struck once in the lower torso and transported to the hospital in stable condition.
It was unknown if the person was armed, according to Johnson, and he was not sure if the person was previously wanted by or known to police.
No officers were injured in the incident.

They’ve been taught that unlimited sex, drugs, and abortions means their free.

Wasn’t wearing a helmet?? That’s always a major tell.
Unless the policeman can present a legitimate reason for the shooting, he should be tried on felony level charges. He should not be allowed to have a gun ever, if guilty.
Everyone on the west side of LB over there looks suspicious.

Well hell, that’s the death penalty right there.
Maybe he ran because he was afraid the cops were gonna shoot him...
