An incident in South Lawndale ended with police shooting a man after he allegedly pointed a gun at them. Officers responded to a call of shots fired and saw a vehicle fleeing the scene. The car was stopped by police and that's when the man is alleged to have pointed a gun at officers who, in turn, shot the man, who was last reported in stable condition. No officers were hurt. The Independent Police Review Authority is reviewing the case. [CBS 2]
