When officers arrived, they found a 48-year-old woman had been shot in the neck inside a residence on the block, police said. Officers spoke with a male suspect, who then shot at police, according to COPA.
Members of the Chicago Police Department SWAT team were notified and engaged the suspect.

After a series of conversations, the suspect threatened members of the department's SWAT team with a firearm, COPA said. A SWAT officer then fired his weapon, fatally striking the suspect.
COPA investigators responded to the scene and began reviewing body camera footage of the incident.

The initial interaction between the suspect and police was captured, but, because SWAT team members do not have bodycams, the fatal shooting was only partially captured by a Chicago police officer's bodycam that was in the vicinity.
The 48-year-old woman was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.

Police have not said if there was a relationship among the two victims and the alleged shooter.
