  "textContent": "<p>A gunman suspected of shooting two Chicago police officers Saturday morning at Swedish Hospital was taken into custody after fleeing into the Lincoln Square neighborhood and barricading himself inside a residence, according to sources and the local alderperson.</p><p>Ald. Andre Vasquez (40th) said the shooting happened about 11:30 a.m. at the hospital, 5140 N. California Ave. Vasquez said there were \"multiple shots fired and two officers shot, one in critical condition.\"</p><p>Law enforcement sources said the shooter disarmed one of the officers before opening fire. </p><p>Chicago police haven’t released details about the shooting, including the injuries and conditions of the wounded officers.</p><p>The gunman ran from the hospital and hid in a nearby home, sources said. He taken into custody by 12:10 p.m., Vasquez said.</p><p>David Stevens, 22, who lives on Foster Avenue about a block from the hospital, said he was in his home when he saw squad cars rushing toward the building.</p><p>He said he walked toward the hospital and saw officers immediately begin to block off traffic.</p><p>About a dozen people were gathered near California and Foster avenues around 1 p.m., watching as tactical officers walked in and out of the hospital.</p><p>“I feel sorry for the police officers,” Stevens said. “I hope they and their families are OK.”</p><p><i>This is a
