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

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).
