Five Officers Hit by Car as Chicago Teen Takeover Spurs Memorial Day Violence

During a Memorial Day weekend “teen takeover” on Chicago’s West Side, an 18-year-old driver struck five officers while they were dispersing a crowd on South Loomis Street; the driver was arrested, none of the officers were seriously injured, and a gun was found in the car. About 30 minutes earlier, a 19-year-old was shot near West Roosevelt Road, part of a day in which at least 19 people were shot citywide. Police say the shootings may not be linked, and CPD urged parents to monitor their children as the teen-takeover trend continues to spread.
