Few details were known, other than the location of the shooting, which happened in the 6500 block of South Harvard Avenue. Chicago police did not immediately respond to a request for additional information.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability said it was responding to the shooting and it posted on social media that the office was looking for witnesses.
