Officials say the officer is in stable condition
with injuries that aren't considered life-threatening. He was
taken to Ingalls Memorial Hospital in Harvey after Sunday
evening's shooting.
Harvey Police Chief Jason Banks said the officer was shot around
6 p.m. when he tried to stop an armed robbery that was happening
at a store in the south suburban community.
The gunman ran away on foot. Authorities say he was wearing
black clothing and had a black face mask.
