The Civilian Office of Police Accountability is investigating two different officer-involved shootings that occurred Monday morning.
The first shooting occurred around 2:50 a.m. at the Grand Regency of Jackson Park, an assisted living facility in the 1400 block of East 75th Street, where Chicago police said they responded to calls of a man with a knife threatening other residents in the building.
Police said they went to the unit the man lived in and attempted to speak with him. The officers said they then tased the man, who had a knife, but the tasers failed to subdue him. The man advanced towards the officers with his knife, which led officers to shoot the man.
A knife was recovered on scene from the incident.
The Chicago Police Department said it is working in full cooperation with COPA to investigate the shooting. The officers involved in the shooting will be placed on routine administrative duties for a minimum of 30 days.
That same morning, a second officer-involved shooting occurred in the Roseland neighborhood near the 10600 block of South LaSalle Street, according to COPA. Further details were not immediately available for that shooting.
