Pedestrian fails to yield to an emergency vehicle responding to shots fired is struck

A Chicago police car responding to a shooting hit a 6-year-old girl in the Back of the Yards neighborhood early tonight, police said.

She was hit on the 5200 block of South Peoria Street after 5 p.m., Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Dan O'Brien said.

Police were responding to that block because someone reported seeing a car there that had been involved in an earlier shooting at 5400 S. Laflin Street, O'Brien said.

The girl was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital and listed in good condition, O'Brien said.

The man shot on Laflin, 30, is in fair condition at Holy Cross Hospital. Police said the shooting may have stemmed from an internal gang conflict.

He was shot in the arm and hand, though the wounds may be from a single through-and-through gunshot, police said.

Police didn't find the vehicle on Peoria but did recover a gun at that scene, O’Brien said.

OakLawn Cops chase stupid ass bank robber into a air duct

Police cut a suspected bank robber from an air duct in an Oak Lawn strip mall early this morning, 12 hours after he dropped from a ceiling, brandished a handgun, tied up two employees and stuffed cash into a black bag, authorities said.

Officers had spotted the fleeing robber on the roof of the strip mall in the 11100 block of South Pulaski Road and finally found him around 12:30 a.m., police said. He was "hiding in an air duct so tight he had to be cut out," said Oak Lawn Police Division Chief Michael Kaufmann.

The man, in his 20s, had dropped through the ceiling of the Bank of America branch around 2 p.m. Saturday and pulled out of handgun, police said.

"The defendant came in through the roof and landed on the floor in there," Kaufmann said. "He took the employees and put them on the floor and zip-tied them."

Police, joined by SWAT teams, found the suspect hiding in an air duct above a ceiling in the middle of the shopping center and arrested him without incident, Kaufmann said.

The South Suburban Emergency Response Team responded, along with Cook County sheriff's police, the FBI and Chicago police.
