Two on-duty Chicago officers were shot and wounded when two vehicles pulled up beside them on Tuesday and began "firing indiscriminately" in what is thought to be a targeted attack, the Chicago Police Department said.
The officers, both male, were conducting an investigation in the city's south side when "one, possibly two vehicles, pulled alongside them and started firing indiscriminately at the officers," Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said during a press conference early Wednesday morning.
One officer was shot in the arm and hip and the other in the back, Johnson said. They were taken to a local hospital and are both expected to make a complete recovery, he said.
The department believes that the officers were the intended targets. They returned gunfire, according to the department, but it did not say if they hit anyone.
"They were firing at the officers," Johnson said. "Right now, there's an extensive manhunt underway for the individuals responsible and we will get them."
The officers, who were dressed in plain clothes, were conducting a follow-up investigation to a previous incident when they were hit, according to the department. It declined to offer details on the nature of the case the officers were working on.
Police found multiple weapons and a vehicle they believe are linked to the shooting, Johnson said.
The department said it is questioning "a few" people in connection to the case.(snip)
Johnson noted that the area where the shooting took place had been troubled by gun activity.
"We have to do something about the gun violence in this city," he said. "If they will fire at police officers like that, then they have no type of thought process in terms of firing at other citizens in this great city."

It’s going to be a long, hot, bloody summer.
Just turn south chicago into a free fire zone. Set up firebases in a semi circle facing lake michigan and begin blasting away.
Tune in the Chi-Town police calls on the app. Amazing stuff all day and all night 24/7/365.
I think we need a 2nd wall......this one circular.
Can someone please organize this community??
It was done by Ayers and Obama and it has succeeded beyond their most optimistic hopes.
So which is it?

Reminds me of the olden days of 1968 when police would not go into a black area to investigate crime. It was too dangerous.
Our media does it again.
How can a targeted shooting be indiscriminate?
Now the cops going into those areas are black or brown; the Mau Mau who shot and killed the two cops eating their lunch in their car in NYC couldn’t even find a white cop (they were Hispanic and Asian).
Of course.
