Chicago Officer Shooting Linked to Fatal Stabbing

An off-duty Chicago police officer was injured in a shooting in the 5600 block of West Leland Avenue, which involved a fatal stabbing and the subsequent death of the attacker who was shot at by the officer. Meanwhile, a retired Chicago police sergeant is recovering after being critically injured in a shooting believed to be an attempted carjacking on the city's North Side. The sergeant, who was shot three times, is in improving condition, and an arrest has been made in connection with the incident. The Chicago community continues to grapple with ongoing violence. Mayor Brandon Johnson is proposing a revised property tax hike of $150 million, down from an earlier $300 million proposal, to address Chicago's budget deficit.
