  "textContent": "<p>An undercover Chicago police officer chased and shot a person after a group of people tried to rob a car full of undercover Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents earlier this week in Country Club Hills, according to Chicago’s police oversight agency.</p><p>It started during a firearm trafficking operation Tuesday in the southwest suburb.</p><p>Around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, several people walked up to a vehicle with undercover ATF agents — who were conducting a firearms trafficking operation in the 18800 block of Loretto Lane — and attempted to rob them. That's when one of the agents opened fire, hitting one of the robbers, according to a news release from the Civilian Office of Police Accountability.</p><p>A Chicago police officer detailed to a gang investigations unit with the agents saw the shooting. He then chased the other assailants as they tried to flee in a vehicle, the release said. At some point, both vehicles stopped, and both drivers got out, and the officer shot the other driver.</p><p>Both suspects who were shot were in critical condition and were taken to hospitals, where their conditions were stabilized — and where they also were placed under arrest. A law enforcement officer was taken to a hospital for observation as well.</p><p>Three additional offenders were apprehended at the scene, the spokesperson said. The FBI and Illinois State Police also were assisting with the investigation, the ATF said.<br></p>",
