The Civilian Office of Police Accountability posted to X just after 9 p.m., saying it is responding to an officer-involved shooting in the Uptown neighborhood's 1400-block of West Argyle Street.
A CPD officer shot one person in that area, a COPA spokesperson confirmed to ABC7.
A Chicago Fire Department spokesperson said two civilians with gunshot wounds were transported to local hospitals in serious to critical conditions. One was taken to St. Francis, and the other was taken to Illinois Masonic. Sources tell ABC7 only one of those civilians was shot by an officer.
Three officers were taken to Swedish Hospital to be checked out, the CFD spokesperson said.
Video from the scene captured one person being taken away in an ambulance.
What led up to the shooting was not immediately clear, but one witness said he saw a slew of police in the area as he stood near North Clark and West Argyle streets. He told ABC7 he saw officers jump out of a vehicle to try to apprehend someone.
"Several officers... jumped out of their vehicles and started yelling commands at that suspect. He obviously took off running. We took off running behind the alleyway here," he said. "And ducked by behind a vehicle, and then we heard several gunshots. I want to say, like, 15 to 20 gunshots."
Two people on the corner said the person shot by police appeared to be conscious and perhaps suffered a gunshot wound to the leg.
Where the second person was shot was not immediately clear, but nearby residents said a shooting happened at a condo building near North Clark Street and West Lawrence Avenue prior to the shooting involving the officer.
ABC7 is working to confirm whether that reported condo shooting is connected to the police-involved shooting.
COPA asked anyone with information to call them at 312-746-3609 or visit https://www.chicagocopa.org/.
Further information was not immediately available.
