2 suburban police officers shot at, return fire in Englewood

Two suburban police officers were shot at Thursday night while working with a carjacking task force in Englewood on the South Side.

The officers, from Melrose Park and Maywood, were following a stolen dark-colored SUV in the 5700 block of South Loomis Boulevard about 8:25 p.m. when the SUV stopped and people inside opened fire before driving off, Chicago police said.

The officers returned fire, but it was unclear if anyone in the SUV was shot, police said.

Neither officer was hit, but both were taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening, officials said.

The SUV was later found unoccupied, police said.

No one was in custody.
