Chicago police today announced a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading
to the conviction of whoever shot an off-duty officer last week on the South
Side.
The 38-year-old officer was shot in the legs about 1:27 a.m. June
15 as he sat on a back porch with other officers in the Longwood Manor
neighborhood.
The shots apparently came from Metra train tracks near the
home in the 9700 block of South Genoa Avenue, police said.
A bullet went
through the officer's right leg and pierced his left leg, and he was treated and
released at a local hospital, police said.
The officer is a 10-year
veteran assigned to the Central District.
The reward has been contributed
by outside sources and organizations, police said in a news release issued
today.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call 312-747-8271 or
1-888-YPO-SHOT.
