CHICAGO (WGN) – The Cook County Sheriff’s Office is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the indictment or arrest of the suspects who shot at an off-duty Chicago police officer on the city’s Southwest Side.

The off-duty officer sustained a minor hand injury from broken glass and was taken to an area hospital for observation. No other injuries were reported.
