Teen killed by officers was armed, police say.
Byline: Jeremy Gorner
Sep. 28--Two Chicago officers fatally shot a 15-year-old Thursday night on the Southeast Side after he aimed a gun at them, police said this morning.
At about 9:45 p.m., two South Chicago District tactical unit officers were driving west on East 87th Street when they heard a gunshot, police said. When they continued to Escanaba Avenue, they saw a teen fire a gun.
The officers chased the teen and caught up with him in an alley between Exchange and Commercial Avenues, police said.
The teen turned toward the officers "with a .357 gun in [his] hand," Officer Hector Alfaro said. "In fear of his life, and for the safety of his partner," an officer then fired one shot at the teen's head, he said.
