A 25-year-old man was charged with firing shots at police as they tried to stop him early Friday in Chatham on the South Side.
Demetrius Williams is charged with one felony count of attempted first-degree murder, Chicago police said.
Officers saw him running from a store about 2:20 a.m. in the 700 block of East 83rd Street and began to pursue him, police said. During the pursuit, he fired shots at a squad car, and officers returned gunfire.
No one was hurt, and Williams was taken into custody a short time later, police said. He is due in bond court Saturday.
