Once the weapons were found the 29 year old man who lives there walked in on the police. They went to apprehend him and he ran from the building. Police reported to have asked him to stop, but he continued to flee on foot and then by car.
He exited the rear of the building and ran north down the alley to about the middle of the block where he went into his car on Home Avenue and started to drive away. The Chicago Police Assistant Deputy Police Superintendent Patrick McNulty, then added that the suspect pulled out and tried to head north on Home Avenue.

into the squad. One of the Chicago Officers who had been chasing on foot after the suspect was reportedly struck by the suspects car while in the street.

the car. A witness had noted they heard three shots fired.
