A person was shot during an exchange of gunfire with Chicago police Tuesday in Rogers Park on the North Side.

The shooting happened about 5 p.m. in the 6900 block of North Ravenswood Avenue, Chicago police spokesman Tom Ahern said.

A person, of an unknown age, was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston with a gunshot wound, Ahern said. They were in serious-to-critical condition, according to Chicago fire officials.

No officers were hurt, according to police, but fire officials said four people were sent to hospitals in good condition with minor injuries.

Ahern said officers recovered a gun from the scene.
