Police Shoot at Motorist After Vehicle Stopped

We've had a couple people email and comment about this shooting last night in the South Loop, so we thought we would link to the story and post a blurb:
Two officers got out of their vehicle and as they were approaching it the suspect -- who was in the driver’s seat -- pointed a gun at police and an officer fired at the suspect, Gaines said.

Police said the suspect -- who was the only one inside the white, 4-door vehicle which fled the scene -- is a known criminal and a search was under way as of early Tuesday for him.
