A woman was shot and killed on Thursday morning in the Galewood neighborhood and a Chicago police officer was under arrest, police said.

       Around 10:10 a.m., police were called to perform a well-being check at a home in 2100 block of North Nashville Avenue, where they found the body of 29-year-old Andris B. Wofford, who’d suffered a gunshot wound to the chin, according to the Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

       Wofford, who lived along the same block of the Nashville Avenue address, was pronounced dead at 10:24 a.m., the medical examiner’s office said.

       A Chicago police officer was under arrest and being questioned by Area 5 detectives, according to Officer Steve Rusanov, a police spokesman. The officer was “relieved of police powers,” Rusanov said.

       An autopsy was scheduled for Friday.
