A 25-year-old man was charged Sunday for allegedly firing shots at Chicago police officers in West Garfield Park on the West Side.
Brian Hall was charged with felony counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, reckless discharge of a firearm, and being in possession of a firearm as a felon, Chicago police said.
Officers were in an unmarked car, Sunday, when they attempted to stop a male on the street after observing a bulge in his jacket about 9:35 p.m. in the 4200 block of West Wilcox Street, police said. The man allegedly fled and fired at officers from a gangway.
The officers were not shot and didn’t return fire, police said. No other injuries were reported.
Hall was arrested minutes later in the 4200 block of West Adams Street, after he was identified as the person who allegedly fired shots, police said. A weapon was recovered.
He is due in bond court Wednesday.
