UPDATE: WLS is streaming live from the scene.

UPDATE II: WLS reports that "police were chasing a man, who had what appears to be a knife, when he grabbed another man on the street and held him hostage."

UPDATE III: Chicago Breaking News reports that the man shot is now dead.

UPDATE IV: The officer firing the shots accidentally hit his partner as well. Police say the man is not seriously injured since the bullet hit his protective vest. [CBN]
