   Tough shit.  What is a 13-year-old nigger punk doing stealing   
   cars and why are nigger adults defending his behavior?   
      
   CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Chicago police officer shot and critically   
   injured a 13-year-old carjacking suspect Wednesday night on the   
   city's West Side, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability   
   said.   
      
   Chicago police were trying to stop a stolen vehicle wanted in   
   connection with a carjacking from a neighboring suburb just   
   before 10:15 p.m. in the 800-block of North Cicero Avenue, near   
   Chicago Avenue. As officers approached the vehicle, the boy fled   
   on foot, CPD said.   
      
   "The subject flees to a gas station parking lot and turns toward   
   the officers," Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said   
   during a press conference Thursday.   
      
   Witnesses said they watched in disbelief as police sprinted   
   toward the gas station at Chicago and Cicero avenues.   
      
   "All of a sudden, I see a little guy wearing all black get out   
   of the car and run toward the gas station, and his hands were   
   up. And I seen the cop run up to the boy and started shooting.   
   That boy didn't have no gun or nothing," said one witness who   
   asked not to be identified.   
      
   Authorities said one officer pulled his weapon, then shot the 13-   
   year-old, according to Chicago police.   
      
   "The officer then discharges his weapon, striking the individual   
   once," Brown said.   
      
   "They said, 'Put your hands up, put your hands up!' The boy's   
   hands were up. There's other people out there that seen it. I   
   got it all on my phone -- his hands were up. He didn't have a   
   gun. They shot him for no reason," said another witness.   
      
   Alderwoman Emma Mitts, who represents the 13th Ward where the   
   shooting happened, said it was unnecessary.   
      
   "Why would you want to shoot when you could easily chase him,"   
   Mitts said.   
      
   Video shows officers moving the young boy's body, which police   
   say was in an effort to move him away from nearby gas pumps.   
      
   Officers rendered aid to the individual, who was taken to   
   Stroger Hospital in critical condition.   
      
   "The 13-year-old did not have a weapon that was recovered from   
   the scene. So now that brings up concern to why and what   
   happened," Mitts said. "Certainly we don't want an officer out   
   here shooting our children for no reason, that's insane."   
      
   At least one other suspect drove away in the wanted vehicle,   
   which was later found empty in the 3800-block of West Monroe   
   Street in East Garfield Park.   
      
   COPA said the shooting involved officers with CPD's Vehicle   
   Hijacking Task Force Team.   
      
   "Officers engaged in a foot pursuit of one of the occupants of   
   the vehicle," COPA First Deputy, Chief Administrator, Ephraim   
   Eaddy said. "One officer discharged their firearm, striking the   
   occupant, who is 13 years of age. The officer's body camera was   
   activated, and COPA is in possession of 3rd party and POD video   
   that captures the incident. No weapon was recovered on scene."   
   No officers were wounded by gunfire, but two were taken to a   
   nearby hospital for observation. They were listed in good   
   condition.   
      
   COPA said it is prohibited from releasing video and other   
   materials in accordance with the Juvenile Court Act.   
      
   "COPA is committed to a full and thorough investigation into the   
   officer's use of force to determine if their actions were in   
   accordance with Department policy and training," the agency said   
   in a release.   
      
   Brown said he was limited in the information he could share so   
   far in the investigation.   
      
   "I cannot draw conclusions to an investigation that just started   
   last night," he said. "We're not going to answer any questions.   
   We're not going to answer how many shots were fired. The   
   ballistics evidence will say that. We're not going to answer   
   anything else about the shooting."   
      
   The wanted car had been used in a carjacking the day before in   
   Oak Park, police said.   
      
   On Tuesday, a man in a black face mask stole a car left running   
   with a 3-year-old inside near Lake Street and Oak Park Avenue   
   around 7:30 p.m., police said. The child was found unharmed   
   about 15 minutes later inside the car, which had been abandoned   
   in the 200-block of Madison Street, police said.   
      
   Police are still looking for a second suspect.   
      
   COPA is investigating the incident, and any officers involved   
   will be placed on routine administrative duties for 30 days.   
      
   Mayor Lori Lightfoot issued a statement that said:   
      
   "I am aware of the officer-involved shooting that resulted in a   
   thirteen-year-old being shot by a Chicago police officer   
   yesterday evening. I have been in contact with Superintendent   
   Brown and the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, led by   
   Chief Administrator Andrea Kersten, is actively investigating
