The Civilian Office of Police Accountability is investigating after Chicago police said an officer accidentally discharged their weapon.

Surveillance video shows a red Dodge Charger trying to get away from a flurry of Chicago police and Illinois State Police SUVs early Thursday morning after a miles-long chase with law enforcement.

The video shows the Charger surrounded by law enforcement in a nearby parking lot before the car is able to swerve around officers and accelerate northbound on Cicero Avenue.

Officers drive after the suspects, with one officer seen running close behind, just seconds before the Charger crashes into a nearby fence across the street.

That's when police said the suspects ditched the car and ran away.

ISP said the suspects shot at officers and troopers just before they were taken into custody.

But it was during this time, a police official said, an officer accidentally fired their gun as the suspects were arrested.

No one was hit, but two of the suspects and an officer went to a hospital just to be checked out.

This comes as Chicago police were investigating an armed robbery in the Gage Park neighborhood.

Three men were working outside at about 2:45 a.m. in the 2800-block of West 59th Street when Chicago police said two suspects armed with handguns robbed the men.

The suspects then returned to a waiting vehicle and fled the scene.

Chicago police have not officially connected the armed robbery to the chase and shooting investigating.
