Chicago: A gunman who shot a man in West Rogers Park on Saturday returned to the scene and engaged Chicago police officers in a two-and-a-half-minute shootout on Saturday morning, officials said.

The gunman was hospitalized with gunshot wounds and the initial victim was treated and released, but no other injuries were reported, according to CPD.

Police initially responded to a call of a person shot in the 2700 block of West Farwell around 9:35 a.m. Witnesses reported that a 39-year-old man was walking on the sidewalk when a gunman wearing a bright safety vest opened fire on him from behind.

As police and fire personnel were handling the situation, the gunman returned to the area and began shooting. One round struck a Chicago Fire Department ambulance. Cops returned fired.

For more than two minutes, the man popped up at different locations to squeeze off rounds toward first responders, CPD Chief of Detectives Kevin Bruno said during an evening press conference. At one point during the shootout, gunfire could be heard on the local police radio channel as an officer tried to provide information from the scene.

Police eventually neutralized the gunman and then switched to life-saving mode, applying a tourniquet and administering other life-saving techniques to stabilize his condition. Bruno reported that the man had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was in critical condition.

The deputy chief repeatedly declined to comment on rumors that the gunman targeted the initial victim because he is Jewish.

Fresno, California: Interim Chief Mindy Casto says several officers responded to a ShotSpotter activation in a neighborhood near Platt Avenue and Eighth Street, just behind Jackson Elementary School, around 5 pm on Saturday. They would ultimately find a man in the area dead from a gunshot wound.
