Officers involved in two early-morning shootings

AREA 1
A Wentworth Area detective was shot in the lower back about 12:50 a.m. near West 50th Street and South Peoria Avenue, according to police News Affairs Officer Hector Alfaro.

UPDATE:
The Chicago Police detective was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he underwent surgery and was in serious condition late Monday, authorities said.

As the officer approached a man standing on the street, the man took off running.

As the detective chased the man, he heard a gunshot, police said.

The detective had been shot in the lower back, just above his belt, said police Sgt. Eugene Mullins.

For the "know-it-alls" who say he wasn't wearing his vest.

Sounds like his vest was in the trunk as usual. See those dects leave the station just carrying it.

How do you know he didn't have his vest on? When Mike Ceriale was killed he was wearing his vest.
Don't be so presumptuous one day people may be second guessing you.

I would never ask anyone to believe the media. I had no intention of placing the Sun-Times link next to the comment about "know it alls" as proof of him wearing a vest or not.
I get tired of those who second guess coppers involved in shooting incidents and I quoted the department's release as printed in the Sun-Times.
I apologize to those who thought that I would use an article in the Sun-Times or Tribune as proof positive of anything.

To 8:23, What a bitter jerkoff you must be. Obviously you don't know Pat, he would wear his vest even when he was just coming out to station jobs. So take your "as usual" and shove it up.....
