Police originally said the five shootings had occurred since Nov. 27, but the first shooting in the recent spurt actually occurred Nov. 25, when officers were fired on in Garfield Park.
On Nov. 27, officers shot and killed a man who they said fired at them after he shot a pregnant 24-year-old. The next day, police were fired on by two men whom police saw illegally selling guns, according to the Police Department.
On Thursday, a police commander was shot at in South Chicago, leading to a SWAT standoff that ended with three men arrested.
