Man shot, 3 cops injured in arrest attempt

June 2, 2009 (CHICAGO) It happened Tuesday night near West Madison and Western. Narcotics officers were attempting to arrest the suspect when he tried to drive away.

"It was quite a few shots back to back. The police was the only one doing the shooting. The people in the car was not armed or anything," said Sonia Richardson, witness.

The three officers were all in good condition Wednesday morning.

The Independent Police Review Authority is investigating the shooting.
