Chicago police say a man walked into a police station on Wednesday with a gun and began shouting "anti-police sentiment" while pointing the gun at officers before being shot.

The man entered the Ogden District station at 12:52 p.m., according to Chicago Police Department Superintendent David Brown, adding that the man walked into the police station with a gun inside of a plastic bag wrapped around his hand.

Brown said the suspect pointed a gun at officers who were working at the front desk. "One of the officers immediately sees what appears to be a barrel of a gun protruding from the wrapped plastic bag that the offender is holding in his hand," Brown said. "The offender shouts and rants anti-police sentiment and then begins pointing the guns at the officers that are working the front desk in the lobby.

As this occurs, officers draw their weapons, [and] fire their weapons." Gun recovered after a man walked into a Chicago police station and pointed it at officers working at the front desk.
