Officer Shot
A Chicago Police officer has been shot during a foot chase on the South Side tonight.
The South Chicago District tactical unit officer responded to some sort of "juvenile disturbance" when he encountered an individual in the area of 84th Street and Kingston Avenue, police said, citing preliminary information. It happened about 10:30 p.m.Shortly thereafter, the individual ran away from the officer and the two ended up in a nearby backyard, police said.
The individual opened fire on the officer, striking him in the chest, above his bulletproof vest, police said, adding that the officer might've fired back.
Prayers only.
UPDATE: Person of interest being questioned.

Definitely time for prayers...
I will pray, Please get well.
My prayers are with this officer tonight. Get well soon sir.
Report says 'stabilized' and now at Christ.
Get well soon, office.
There but for the grace of God goes any one of us.
Video footage of command center is a joke, its a reflection of how short CPD is in manpower. Bodies filling the seats monitoring crime were suburban cops and they pulled people up from the fourth floor to fill the seats.
Serious condtion in surgury now
Oh Lord and St. Michael protect our brother. My prayers are with him and his family and his family in blue.

A 47-year-old Chicago Police officer was in serious condition after being shot in the chest Monday night in the South Chicago neighborhood.
The male officer was chasing a suspect on foot when he was shot about 10:40 p.m. in the 8400 block of South Kingston, Chicago Police spokeswoman Melissa Stratton said.
Dozens of fellow officers gathered at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn and were anxiously awaiting news of his condition at midnight. The officer worked in the 14th District.
Police did not immediately have any information about whether a suspect was in custody.

Prayers to the Officer and his family.
Over 50 ppl shot, 10 dead, and now a Police Officer!! Really?? Time for a change, time to take control of this department again. Now what, make a new violent zone? There's not enough police, there's no special units to smash these motherfuckers when they hurt our own. They know that, we know that!! Grow some fucking balls SUPT/MAYOR before more of US get hurt!! Be safe, I pray for us every nite. Its worst than Afganistan here. The numbers don't lie
hope you are okay and am praying for you---
Prayers and heartfelt concern for you, brave Officer. Support and well wishes for your family.
SCC,
I wrote this on March 18, 2012 and thankfully you published it under the thread "What a night!". I wrote, "Furthermore, I hate to say this, not only will it be a bloody summer for the citizens in Chicago but also for our fellow brothers and sisters in blue." Sadly I was right. May God heal you my fellow brother.
Mark my words that FOP is quiet for a reason on being undermanned. Shields and company have already sold us out with the city. This is the perfect opportunity for Shields to call for a press conference and tell the citizens we are undermanned. Furthermore, I hate to say this, not only will it be a bloody summer for the citizens in Chicago but also for our fellow brothers and sisters in blue. I have been on since 1992 and I can tell you what I saw on the South side last night shocked me. I have worked in 006, 007 and 002 and I can tell you we are done as a police dept.

Spare us the theatrics. Shields has been in the press about manpower since he got in office. Say what you want about him, but saying that he is in bed because he is silent means that you have your head up somebody's ass.
My hopes for a speedy recovery, Officer.
Hold him in Your merciful safekeeping.
Politicians, so called reverends,media,ambulance chasing attorneys made this city very dangerous. Get well copper.
Full recovery in due time, our brother.

St. Jude, St. Michael, protect your servant. For this we pray.
Thoughts and prayers are with you officer....Get Well Soon!
Keeping the officer and his family and brothers and sisters in blue in our prayers.
Why bother chasing ghetto kids? Let them run loose in their nieghborhood. Let their preacher men deal with them.
WE , THE MEMBERS OF THE CHICAGO FIRE DEPARTMENT ARE PRAYING FOR YOU AND FOR YOUR FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
My thoughts and prayers are with this Officer.
Be careful CPD.
And the Supt./Mayor will be on the news next week saying "crime is down, streets are safe, we have 13,000 officers, that's enough!" They're putting our lives at risk!
My prayers are with you Officer. May God watch over you and St. Michael stand at your side.
Prayers are with you.

God Bless you Del,
get well brother and my prayers to your family.
A/2 soldier
Pull through my brother.
Thoughts and prayers are with the officer and his fammily. We will not have the option of taking back the city. The city has been lost!!!! St. Michael protect us while we patrol the relentless streets of a city with no hope. PLease be safe. We all go home the way we came.
I'm a citizen that is sick and tired of the current mayor saying "Violence will not be tolerated." Well it IS being tolerated Mr. Washington DC. You're too young to remember this but there was a saying about Viet Nam "Too few to win, too many to die." You're killing our cops.
Stay safe men!!
WBBM Radio reporting that officer was in surgery for hours, lost two-thirds of his blood, and is in Intensive Care unit now.
#1..Get well soon brother
#2..Im tired of bringing suspects in..Lets take care of business on the street..Get that SOB!
Reopen the Districts and close the medical section and IPRA!
Then we can afford an Army!
My prayers to the officer. May God watch over you for a full recovery.
This is beyond words. When is someone going to stand up and speak for us. Not the FOP nor the Superintendent give a damn about the manpower shortage and the fact we are constantly targeted.
My prayers are with the officer and his family.
I hate to say it but I'm at the point of saying fuck it - don't do anything more than what is absolutely unavoidable.
Don't risk your life for these ingrates.
Thoughts and prayers....
God Bless this officer and his family. May God watch over and protect those who serve and protect us.
Get well bro, God be with you...
Police: Prognosis ‘good’ for officer shot in chest on Southeast Side
BY KIM JANSSEN ANd LEEANN SHELTON Staff Reporters March 19, 2012 11:42PM
Updated: March 20, 2012 10:51AM
Chicago police say the prognosis of an officer shot in the chest Monday night on the Southeast Side is good after doctors were able to stem bleeding.
The officer had been transferred to the intensive care unit at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn following surgery Tuesday morning, Fraternal Order of Police spokesman Pat Camden said.
On Tuesday morning, the Chicago Police Dept. said doctors were able to stem bleeding and the officer’s prognosis was good.
Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy spoke to reporters outside the hospital Tuesday morning and said officers executed two search warrants overnight and were questioning a 20-year-old person of interest.
Police spoke with several other witnesses and do believe they know where the gun involved in the shooting is located, McCarthy said. It was also possible officers are searching for a second weapon...

Understand that the "person of interest" is 20 years old.
You're right -- what's the diff.
If this officer worked in 14 why was he in South Chighetto?
God please watch over him. Bring him through this.
God bless him and his family.
That was the neighborhood where I grew up. It was wonderful until the scum took it over. I guess we can say that about a lot of old Chicago neighborhoods.
Spare us the theatrics. Shields has been in the press about manpower since he got in office. Say what you want about him, but saying that he is in bed because he is silent means that you have your head up somebody's ass.
You are a fucking idiot. FOP won't even publish the retired police officers. FOP doesn't give a damn about us. When has FOP released a statement about manpower shortage? How about all the districts closing? What did FOP say? Whoever you are you need to stop drinking the FOP Kool Aid. Face it idiot, the union is not looking out for us. If they were they would have been calling a press conference after the violence over the weekend. Zero, not a word. Not a word over the police officer getting shot and the manpower shortage. Roll on your stomach, Mikey needs love. Your the reason why we as a dept cannot move ahead.
I wish you a speedy and full recovery, brother. I pray for you and for every member of our department. This summer is going to be urban combat. I agree with previous posters: take the gloves off, throw out IPRA and let the real police work begin - it is not "a" way, it is "the way", the only way to stop these fuckers.
Bless you Del,
We've known eachother since we were five... Hang in there, God will bless you and watch over you.
...it should be noted that the fast actions of his team members & sgt saved his life!!! His partners quick response, the sgt's decision to take our guy to the hospital and the excellent response by 004 & numerous other units saved Dell's life and caught the f'n ANIMAL!! God bless you Dell & your immediate & extended family.
My prayers and heart goes out to you and your family. May we all be safe and watch each other
s backs.
As the details come out -- this was BAD. 9mm was apparently used. No time to wait for an ambulance; officer hit was put into a squad car and they floored it to the nearest hospital, where he was stabilized.
Otherwise I don't think he'd be with us now.
Pat Camden seems confident that "we got who we were looking for," too.
Good work, everyone.
...except I wish Channel 7 would -- for the love of God -- think for a minute before they put up a red-dotted diagram of "where to shoot a policeman."
Where's the raccoon? This thugery is not worth one drop of CPD blood.
My prayers officer and family.
MORE POLICE NOW!
OVer 50 shot 10 killed and an officer shot and the best that our leaders can say is there is gang problem in Chicago...WEL NO FUCKEN SHIT GENIOUS!!! and then were maping their turfs, how many fucken more years you need to map this shit out, fuck by the time you get this map out, the holy grail will be discovered unfuckenbeleivable!
Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery, Officer.
Updated Information: As of this evening Del is heavily sedated but has responded to verbal commands and has had movement in all of his extremities. It's a good sign. He has a long road ahead to both recover and to ease the fears of his family. DO NOT POST ANYTHING HERE…INCLUDING ANY SECURITY INFORMATION, but in a day or two think about finding out from your Unit where he lives and stop by with a meal and maybe some flowers for the Mrs. They need to know we got them too, they are our family along with Del. You don’t have to stay; just let them know we’re here if they need anything and were in it for the long run with them. They’ll be busy—and scared.
Either an unlucky shot or a calculated shot to the "white t-shirt triangle"
Driving to work this AM in my pickup truck { construction ] > immediantly prayed for the officer and the doctors attending him and his situation.
Ironic > exactly 10 yrs ago, almost to the hour this officer was shot > I believe Don Marquez was shot while serving body warrant over what seemed like a harmless housing violation issue to an old man, age 77, on the northside. Who would have guessed that something so minor as that would prove to be so deadly ? I know most the entire Marquez, especially his parents, and both sets of sisters and brothers.
Fortunately, this officer seems as though he will recover as of this afternoons news report ?
Good work, everyone.
...except I wish Channel 7 would -- for the love of God -- think for a minute before they put up a red-dotted diagram of "where to shoot a policeman."

WTF? Explain, please.
Praying for you and your family. I work with your brother in the Guard.

We should all be trained and supplied with battle dressings and clotting agents in the field. The quick action by his Sgt and partners saved his life, believe it because it is true. If they had battle dressings and some training it would have even been better.
We pray for you brother,may Angels watch over you! Cook County Sheriff COURT SERVICE DIV.
WLS had the officer down 2/3 of his total blood supply by the time he got to the hospital. Hope he recovers and the person that did this pay. If the person was willing to do this to a police officer what would he be willing to do to someone else?
Get well officer, my prayers go to you and what your wife and children are going thru right now. To the members of CPD this year is going to only go from this to worse. Gangs have gotten use to doing what they want, they get stronger and bolder each incident. They have the people so terrified they don't resist. This has happened in the past, and we call them terrorist now. No real punishment for those who try to out do the other person. They laugh at our laws, and know how to use them for their own benefits. They run the gangs from inside our prisons. Soon this city will be like Columbia, we're the politicians think they control it, but the gangs are the real government and controlled everything. Soon they will be killing the lawyers who oppose them, followed be judges. They allready are killing citizens and police officers.
To you officers on the front line, be safe, be strong. Train in firing your weapon once a month or more. It will save YOUR life. Be aware of people around you at all time, on duty and off. These terrorist are out to hurt you and your family's . It happened before and going on right now.
Praying for you, office.
Get well brother, our thoughts and prayers are with.
Feel free to stop by 4228 N Hermitage, Rahm Emmanuels house, and stage a protest or whatever. WE have the freedom of speech and his home address is public information, WE will not be silenced by a general order that violates OUR rights, this isn't North Korea Mr Emmanuel.
I'm one of manyDetectives assigned to the shooting in 4 last night, by the time we arrived the dept. had the Command Van and Light Truck in place. The officers and Sgt. in charge of this crew are the best, anything that we asked for they did, above and beyond, I know that this is their job, but they go beyond doing thier job each and everytime they help us out. THANK YOU !!
Get well soon Officer,take as much time as you can off before you come back to this bullshit. Mike Byrne retired.
I just read the local news story on my MSN home page. God please shine your healing light on Officer Pearson. God bless the CPD!! Please please stay safe!!
~CPD family
Prayers for you brother. Get well.
Any mutt with the balls to shoot a uniformed copper doesn't deserve to take up space in prison. He needs to be found and then brought out in a body bag.
Prayers for your quick recovery officer.

The FOP publishes what the City provides. If the City doesn't provide the names of the retirees how will FOP know? The only other place to get those names is the pension board and I do not know if they will provide that information to the FOP.
The person down at personnel who used to provide the list of retirees names has retired and took the knowledge with them when they left. Now the job is not being done and the FOP has to figure another way to get those names.
Typical City bullshit.
Blame Tracy Ladner who is in charge of personnel, not FOP.
The system is broken and rapidly getting worse.

===========
Are you fucking dense? The Pension Board? Maybe if we had somebody serving on the Pension Board, the FOP could get those names? Somebody like Shields who still holds the Pension Board spot along with the FOP Presidency? My g-d, how do you manage to breathe?

"GREAT JOB!"
TO HIS PARTNER,OFFICERS ON SCENE! SOUNDS LIKE HE WOULD HAVE BLED OUT IF WAITED FOR MEDICS!
FAST DECISIVE ACTION ON THE PART OF HIS BROTHERS DEFINITELY SAVED THIS OFFICER'S LIFE!!! GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU & SPEEDY RECOVERY!
~CFD MEDIC
To other officers who may find themselves in a similar situation, Brian recommends being transported to the hospital in a squad car. The ambulance that was dispatched took 12 minutes to arrive and did not administer any first aid on the way to the hospital.
This was from an officer shot on the expressway.
When the two officers were shot in 011 in July they were transported immediately from the scene by a squad car. Not a bad idea to not wait for an ambulance
