Chicago police attempted to stop a vehicle wanted in connection with a homicide in the 1700 block of West 47th Street around 5:35 p.m. Friday. An officer fired his weapon and struck the vehicle, but no one was hit by the gunfire, police said.
The suspect fled but was taken into custody and the officer was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries, police said.
