CHICAGO (AP) – A possible suspect in the killing of three people in Chicago has fired shots at officers surrounding a far South Side home where he is barricaded.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi (goo-lee-EHL’-mee) says officers returned fire but it was unclear if the man was hit. No officers were hurt.
Police with loudspeakers are calling on him to surrender.
Police are searching for a man who killed three people Wednesday night in the West Englewood neighborhood.
Police spokeswoman Laura Amezaga says the shooter knew the victims. A 30-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man were shot in the head. A 26-year-old woman was shot in the back.
Deputy police Superintendent John Escalante says the victims appear to have been from the same family.
Escalante says there’s no threat to the broader community.
