Police say the bicyclist suspected of shooting a woman in the back in downtown Chicago on Wednesday shot and wounded an officer serving a warrant on Saturday. Feds have joined the search for the man.
Michael Blackman, 45, managed to get away from both shootings and should be considered armed and dangerous, police spokesman Anthony GuglielmiThe officer was shot and wounded at around 8:40 a.m. while serving a warrant on the city’s South Side. Police and federal agents were searching the area for the suspect, Guglielmi wrote.
The wounded officer, whose name wasn’t immediately released, underwent surgery and was hospitalized in stable condition. Doctors say the officer lost nearly a third of his blood following a groin injury despite applying a tourniquet, Guglielmi tweeted.On Friday, police released surveillancefrom a bicycle shop showing Blackman at the counter getting a flat tire fixed just minutes before he allegedly rode up to a woman and shot her in the back.
Two other officers were injured in an unrelated case early on Saturday. Police say the officers responded to a call about a man with a gun inside of a South Side restaurant shortly after 4 a.m. After the officers patted down the man and found his gun, he pushed past them, ran outside, got into a vehicle and drove off, dragging both officers before getting away.
The two officers were hospitalized with abrasions, contusions, internal injuries and possible bone fractures. Their names and the name of the driver, if police know it, haven’t been released.
