An Amtrak police officer shot and wounded a man near Union Station on Wednesday night, but officials were releasing few details about it.
The officer shot the 25-year-old man in the left shoulder around 8:45 p.m. in the 300 block of South Canal Street, authorities said. He was taken in serious-to-critical condition to Stroger Hospital.
An Amtrak representative said the officer was not injured and referred questions to Chicago police.
Neither Amtrak nor Chicago police would say whether a gun was recovered from the wounded man. Police did say cash and drugs were found on him.
Canal Street between Van Buren and Harrison streets were blocked off late Wednesday as police investigated the shooting just down from Union Station. Officers also taped off a small area in front of the station near Canal and Jackson Boulevard.
