The Civilian Office of Police Accountability said they responded to a police-shooting at that location. At least one Chicago police officer discharged their weapon.
It was not immediately known if the suspect in custody was injured.
A maze of crime tape blocked off several surrounding streets as an hours-long standoff ensued. A CPD helicopter circled above for hours while SWAT and law enforcement officers stood by with ballistic shields and weapons drawn.
"I just seen police out there with a lot of guns and everything else, so they told me to get away from the crime scene," witness Andrew Mitchell said.

Mitchell described the chaos he saw unfold as police focused on a second-floor unit above where he said a local convenience store is located.
"I'm just very shocked at what happened and what took place. I heard that store over there, they just opened that store over there," Mitchell said.
No further information from Chicago police was immediately available.
