The officers had stopped two males around 10:50 p.m. in the 2200 block of South Sacramento Avenue. Both had handguns, and the officers took them into custody, Chicago police said.

During the arrest, two other males were standing at the end of an alley near the officers and one of them began shooting at police. The officers fired back, police said. No one was hit by gunfire and no injuries were reported.
