One person was killed on Thursday afternoon after FBI agents opened fire on an SUV in the Homan Square neighborhood on the West Side of Chicago.

The shooting happened around 3 p.m. in the 3700 block of West Lexington Street. A Chicago Fire Department spokesperson confirmed one person was killed in the shooting.

Officials have not said if the man fired shots at agents, but sources said he was wanted in connection to a bank robbery.

After the shooting, several FBI agents in helmets and protective vests approached a Cadillac SUV with rifles drawn. Agents later pulled a person who appeared to be dead out of the driver's seat.

The vehicle had been struck by dozens of bullets, and was left heavily damaged.

"The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents or task force members seriously. In accordance with FBI policy, the shooting incident is under review by the FBI's Inspection Division," an FBI spokesperson said in a statement.

People who live nearby said they heard at least 15 shots.

"This is everyday life. I mean, you can't explain something that happened that you don't even know about, but however it's going, all we can do is watch and try and avoid it," Felica Fort said.

One person who said he has lived in Homan Square for more than two decades, and asked to remain anonymous, said he witnessed the shooting from his balcony. He described a shootout between the man in the SUV and FBI agents.

"He came up through the sunroof and started spraying bullets, and they sprayed back at him," the man said. "I'm diving on the floor when the shots took place."

A man who said he was the brother of the man shot by the FBI identified him as a 25-year-old named Abdul. He said his brother was just visiting a relative near Lexington Street and Independence Boulevard.

"For him to just be sitting in the car and them to shoot him, they wanted him dead," he said. "We know he did not shoot. He would never shoot at the police, because, I mean, that's death. That's suicide by cop. He's not stupid."

The FBI declined to immediately provide any further information on Thursday afternoon.

That's progress. Usually they're just killing each other over there on the West side. Always asking for government assistance.

Moochelle and O'bummer even fled their $hotcago homeland never to return. Real sissies. I think even Jimmy Carter wasn't afraid to go back to his peanut farm.

The moral of this story is Never point a gun unless you plan on using it. This chump did but he was too slow on the draw.
