According to Calumet City police, officers were first called to the scene in the 400 block of Buffalo Avenue at around 7 p.m., following a report of a large fight in the area.
As officers made their way to the scene, the 911 caller reported that shots had been fired in the area, which officers said the 911 dispatcher could hear in the background of the call.
When officers finally arrived on the scene, they encountered multiple people engaged in a gunfight.
Amid the gunfire, officers encountered an individual in a nearby alley who was allegedly armed with a gun.
Officers told the suspect to drop the gun, but police say they did not comply and instead turned toward the officers, at which time the officers opened fire.
Nobody was struck, but amid the gunfire, two individuals on the scene fled. One of them was taken into custody a short time later, but officers were not able to locate the second individual.
Investigators later located two guns on the scene.
Officers said nobody was injured during the incident.
Police said the incident was “isolated” and there is no immediate threat to the public.
Officers are now urging anyone with information or video related to the incident to contact the Calumet City Police Department at 708-868-2500.
