Man fatally shot by Chicago police officer

Chicago's Independent Police Review Authority is investigating a Chicago police officer's fatal shooting of a man who was reportedly a suspect in the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old boy.

Police say the unidentified man in his 30s was shot early Thursday morning on the city's West Side after he pointed a gun at an officer and refused to drop it.

Officers say they were in the area because of a gang conflict when they heard shots fired.

The Police News Affairs office says that as officers approached, several males fled, and one was shot and killed during the subsequent chase.

When officers checked the location they heard the shots coming from, they say they found a mortally wounded 16-year-old.

The boy, who died a short time later, was identified only as Jeremy Lindsey.
