2 teenagers in custody after shots first at Chicago officers

CHICAGO (AP) - Two teenage boys were taken into custody after allegedly firing shots at Chicago police officers on Sunday night, police said.

The boys, ages 14 and 16, were taken into custody after 7 p.m. Sunday after they allegedly began running into an alley and shot at officers called to the scene on a report of a person with a gun.

No one was injured and police did not return fire. Police said two weapons were recovered at the scene on Chicago's west side.

That shooting followed a shooting Sunday morning where an off-duty Chicago police officer had to dodge gunshots on the city's north side.

Police said that officer was on his way to work when he noticed two individuals tampering with a parked vehicle. The officer identified himself and one of the suspects then shot at him.

The officer returned fire, striking the suspect in the hip before both suspects fled in a car. No one has been taken into custody in that shooting.

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability is investigating the shooting and the officer involved has been placed on desk duty during the investigation.
