Pursuit

Around 3 a.m., a Chicago police officer reportedly heard gunshots and saw muzzle flashes come from a Toyota as he was stopped at a traffic light. People inside a black sedan were also thought to have been involved in the gunfight. The officer turned on emergency lights and began to follow the Camry, which fled and ran the red light at Irving Park and Western Avenue and struck a northbound Nissan. Janelle Gardiner, a passenger in the Nissan, was ejected and killed.
