STATE CHILD SUPPORT OFFICE THERE. POLICE SAY THE CHILDREN NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF YOU HAVE SEEN THEM YOU ARE ASKED TO CALL POLICE. >>> A CHICAGO POLICE RECRUIT IS SHOT IN THE LINCOLN SQUARE NEIGHBORHOOD. >> MUGO ODIGWE IS AT THE SCENE WERE WITH JUST GOT INFORMATION FROM POLICE. I KNOW IT IS STILL AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION. >> Reporter: IT CERTAINLY IS. THE SCENE HAS CLEARED UP A BIT. WE DO STILL SEE THE VEHICLE THE VICTIMS WERE IN. YOU CAN SEE THIS BLACK CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. REALLY BAD FRONT END DAMAGE. I ALSO WANT TO GET YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT SHOWS YOU ANOTHER VIEW OF WHAT THAT CAR LOOKS LIKE. THIS IS THE CAR THAT A 21-YEAR-OLD CHICAGO POLICE RECRUIT WAS DRIVING. THE FRONT END DAMAGE VERY CLEAR TO SEE. YOU CAN ALSO SEE TWO BULLET HOLES ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE CAR. POLICE SAY THE SHOOTING HAPPENED JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE RECRUIT WAS RUNNING WEST WHEN HIS CAR WAS STRUCK BY GUNFIRE. HE WAS HIT IN THE BACK BEFORE CRASHING INTO A CAR. WE ARE TOLD HE IS EXPECTED TO BE OKAY. THERE WAS SOMEONE ELSE IN THE CAR, AND 24-YEAR-OLD MALE PASSENGER. THE SCENE IS STILL ACTIVE. THERE WERE DOZENS OF POLICE CARS A FEW HOURS AGO. WITH THAT CAR STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A POLICE CAR BLOCKING IT OFF. THE PERSON WHO WAS HIT, A 21-YEAR-OLD CHICAGO POLICE RECRUIT. THAT PERSON TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL.
