Three Chicago police officers were shot Thursday morning while taking a violent carjacking suspect into custody outside a police station on the city’s West Side. The suspect also was shot after the gunfire erupted around 9:40 a.m. in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood outside the 25th District police station, Chicago Police Supt. David Brown said. The suspect fired multiple gunshots at police during the arrest, Brown said, striking several officers. One officer suffered a gunshot wound to his chin and neck, and also was hit in his bulletproof vest, Brown said. A second officer was struck in the vest. A third officer suffered a gunshot wound to his hip. Two other officers suffered chest pains and were hospitalized. The first officer was rushed to Illinois Masonic Medical Center. Dr. Stephen Kingsley, a trauma surgeon, told reporters the officer was given a breathing tube and doctors were working to stabilize him. The four other officers were being treated at Loyola Hospital, Brown said.

NASA's Perseverance mission launched today and will collect at least 20 rock samples from the surface of Mars. But engineers have already set their eyes on how these samples, which will be stored on the Martian surface, will be returned to Earth. The European Space Agency has revealed that Airbus-France will be in charge of building the Earth Return Orbiter (ERO) satellite, which will retrieve the samples. It is believed that they will be delivered back to Earth in 2031.
