A Chicago suspect who fired at a car carrying undercover cops inflicting serious injuries told detectives upon his arrest that he thought they were “opps.”
Eugene ‘Gen Gen’ McClaurin, 28, spotted an unmarked police patrol at around 5:45 a.m. Wednesday and believed it was the white Chrysler 300 that a friend of his spoke about the previous day.
McClaurin was told that the suspicious car was roaming the area and belonged to a rival gang, which led him to target it.
The victims, two ATF agents, and an ATF Task Force officer, sustained several injuries to the hand, head, and torso.
Police Superintendent David Brown credited detectives’ efforts that allowed the apprehension of McClaurin, who was considered as “dangerous to the community.”
“We will not relent in this fight against gun violence and protecting the people of Chicago,” he said.
