According to a news release, the SIU says the incident began at around 1:30 p.m. when police made a traffic stop in the area of Churchill Avenue and Avondale Avenue. A 25-year-old woman got out of the car and ran away, the SIU said. An officer followed.

"At some point, the officer discharged his firearm and the woman was struck. She was transported to hospital for treatment. The woman is in critical condition," the SIU said.

Doesn't sound like she presented a threat to anyone. I don't think stopping a suspect from running away is a reasonable excuse to shoot them.

This deserves criminal charges imo
