Police are searching for the occupants of two vehicles that followed an off-duty officer Sunday in Bridgeport and fired shots, but didn’t strike him.
The 43-year-old was driving west on 31st Street about 2 a.m. when he saw the vehicles following him, according to a statement from Chicago police.
When the man made a U-turn in the 3000 block of South Archer Avenue, someone in one of the cars fired shots, damaging the man’s car, police said.
The victim was an off-duty Chicago police officer, according to police sources.
The incident was first reported by the website Crime in Wrigleyville and Boystown, which also reported that the office had just finished a shift at the 9th District station near 31st and Halsted streets.
The two vehicles drove away north on Ashland Avenue, police said. No arrest was made.
