Chicago police said 29-year-old Tracey Thomas Jr. was arrested on Saturday afternoon after allegedly shooting five police officers, beating one in the hand.
At one point, Thomas was barricaded and crisis negotiators were called in, the CPD said.
The gun used in the attack was found on the spot, police said.
Police said the suspect would appear in bond court on Sunday. CNN is trying to determine if Thomas has a lawyer.
CPD spokesperson Tom Ahern tweeted Saturday night, “Very grateful that our injured officer has been treated and released from the hospital. Another vivid reminder of the inherent dangers #ChicagoPolice Officers face every day.”
Chicago Police Commissioner David O. Brown praised the agents involved.
“I am proud of our SWAT team members and officers who peacefully resolved a critical incident with the surrender of the suspect and recovered a firearm. Brown tweeted Saturday
Brown said on Sunday that 20 agents have been shot in Chicago so far this year.
“The past week has strongly reminded us how dangerous the job of a #ChicagoPolice officer is, with three of our officers being wounded by gunfire in three separate incidents,” he said on Twitter.
