2 police officers shot on West Side cops kill man in separate shootin.

Two Chicago Police officers were wounded Monday night in a shooting on the West Side, officials said. Police are speaking to a person of interest in connection with the shooting early Tuesday, sources said.

The male officers are expected to recover from the shootings that happened in an alley at 10:45 p.m. near South Karlov and West Wilcox, police said.

“God was with us tonight,” said Police Supt. Garry McCarthy Tuesday morning in a news conference outside Stroger Hospital.

One officer suffered a wound to the head and the bullet was lodged behind his left ear. The other officer had a graze wound to the head and also was shot in the arm, McCarthy said.

The shooting happened after two Harrison District patrol officers, both age 29, got out of their car when they saw what they believed was a drug deal, police said. One of the suspects shot both officers and fled the scene.

At least one officer returned fire but it is unclear if anyone was hit, McCarthy said.

The officer with a bullet behind his ear has been with the city’s police for four years, while the other officer has been with the department for three years, McCarthy said.

More than one person is being questioned about the incident but police wouldn’t say if the shooter is among them, police said.

Sources said police have identified a person of interest in the case, who is in police custody early Tuesday. Detectives declined to confirm whether anyone was in custody.

In an apparently unrelated incident on the South Side, police killed a man who allegedly shot two other people before pointing a gun at officers at 12:55 a.m. near 91th and Ashland streets, police said.

Parise R. Mercer, Jr., 18, of the 9000 block of South Marshfield Avenue, was pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn at 1:48 a.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.

The incident began when officers saw a man shoot two other men near a Harold’s Chicken Shack in the 9100 block of South Ashland.

The fleeing gunman pointed his weapon at the officers chasing him. The officers then shot the man, police said.

The two other men wounded in the incident were taken to a local hospital.

Meanwhile, several people were being questioned about the West Side shooting, McCarthy said.

McCarthy was among the officers who arrived at the shooting site after officers were shot. Dozens of officers were searching the neighborhood for evidence early Tuesday as a helicopter flew over the area.

“Violence is increasing” in the city and there has been six police-involved shootings in the last 72 hours, said Pat Camden, a spokesman for the Fraternal Order of Police.
