Gun Discharged in Struggle With Police Officer

A struggle between a Chicago Police officer and a suspect last night resulted in the discharge of the officer's gun, but no one was hurt in the incident. Police had stopped Shardell Green for reckless driving but Green fled the scene on foot and a chase ensued. When officers caught up with Green, a struggle ensued and he tried to disarm one of the officers, causing the gun to fire. Green was on parole stemming from a 2006 vehicular hijacking conviction and has been charged with two felony counts of aggravated battery to a police officer and one felony count of disarming a peace officer.
