Two Chicago police officers were wounded early Wednesday while attempting to serve a search warrant for weapons in the home of a gang member.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the officers entered a home in the 7700 block of South Hoyne Avenue just after midnight. They entered through a rear door of the residence and announced themselves as officers, when shots were fired from behind a closed door.
A 41-year-old male officer was shot in his arm and a 38-year-old male officer was shot in his arm and leg, NBC Chicago reports. Both were hospitalized, but expected to make full recoveries.
Despite being wounded by gunfire, the officers did not return fire inside the home. Police Supt. Jody Weis praised them for their “fire discipline,” and said there were elderly people in the residence.
