Sgt. Michael Mourne and other members of the Police Division's Investigative and Tactical Unit were serving a search warrant at a home at 2437 Parkwood Ave. As the unit's entry team jumped from its vehicle to hit the house, team member Stephen Lazar unintentionally fired his shotgun, striking Mourne.
Mourne, 50, remains hospitalized but could be released in several days if his recovery goes well, said Sgt. Rich Weiner, a Police Division spokesman.
Lazar, 44, remains on assignment with the tactical unit but can take "as much time as he needs" before returning to duty, Weiner said. Both men have been with the Police Division for 20 years.
The shooting will be investigated like any other police-involved shooting.ORIGINAL SOURCE
