A man was taken to the hospital in ‘traumatic arrest’ after exchanging gunfire with Cook County sheriff’s deputies in the South Shore neighborhood Wednesday, authorities said.

       The exchange of gunfire occurred while deputies were tracking a person on electronic monitoring, who they encountered in the 7400 block of South Yates around 6:45 p.m., police said.

       Paramedics took the person shot, a man in his 30s, to the University of Chicago Medical Center in “traumatic arrest,” Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Merritt said.

       The sheriff’s office said deputies were notified the man was no longer allowed to stay at the home he had been living in, in the 8600 block of South Sangamon, and when they arrived at the home to relocate him they learned he had already left.

       They tracked him using his GPS bracelet to South Yates. The man opened fire on deputies, who returned fire and struck him, the sheriff’s office said.

       Deputies were not injured, and were taken to a hospital for evaluation. A gun was recovered at the scene, they said.

       The man was charged with 13 counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault and seven counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, and was placed on electronic monitoring in December 2020 after posting bond, the sheriff’s office said.
