A Chicago police officer was shot and badly hurt during a shootout Wednesday evening on the Southwest Side, officials said.

The officer was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were listed in “very critical” condition, said Chicago Fire department spokesman Larry Langford.  The shooting happened along a residential block in the 5200 block of South Spaulding Avenue.

An officer could be heard screaming to a 911 dispatcher after a call shots fired at at 5258 S. Spaulding Ave. came over to the city’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC).
