Officer Shot at Swedish Hospital, Suspect in Custody

It's April 25th.

Welcome in.

This is California News Today, where local news meets AI, I'm Corey with the story.

Two Chicago police officers got shot at Endeavor Health Swedish Hospital this Saturday morning

around 11 a.m. and one of them is fighting for their life in critical condition.

The whole place went into lockdown right away as cops swarmed the scene.

The unidentified suspect is already in custody, which is a huge relief after the chaos kicked

off.

All officials confirmed the details pretty quick, keeping everyone in the loop on what went

down.

Alder person, Andre Vasquez, from the 40th ward, jumped on social media, urging folks

nearby to shelter in place or steer clear of the area.

He straight up said one officer was critical, showing how serious this hit the community.

The hospital put out word that there's no active threat inside anymore, with patients

and staff all safe.

But they're keeping the campus shut down while law enforcement runs their full investigation.

We'll keep eyes on this as it develops.

Stay safe out there, Chicago, and hope that officer pulls through strong.
