UPDATE: The security detail for Harvey Mayor Christopher Clark fired shots after witnessing an armed robbery in Old Town. Earlier reports that shots were fired at the south suburban mayor turned out not to be correct.
Earlier reports had indicated that shots were fired at the mayor, but it was later learned this was not correct -- and the robbers never fired any shots.Sources told CBS 2's Jermont Terry that Mayor Clark was safe, and that the Harvey police command staff was heading to Chicago.
Police cordoned off Halsted Street just south of North Avenue, in front of Design within Reach and Joybird -- which carry an address of 755 W. North Ave. but face Halsted Street. A black sport-utility vehicle was seen within the crime scene perimeter as police interviewed witnesses. The busy North/Clybourn Red Line stop, the Apple Store Lincoln Park, and Yondorf Hall -- a historic building that houses rehearsal space and offices for the Steppenwolf Theatre and a Fey & Co. jewelry store -- are also located nearby.
A staffer at Fey & Co. said she heard the shots ring out when it happened. She said police and witnesses told her two men in ski masks driving a Jeep tried to rob someone, and two off-duty suburban officers shot at them.
