A masked man trying to rob a South Side hot dog stand apparently didn't see a Chicago police officer at another window and the two exchanged gunfire Monday afternoon.
The incident happened about 3 p.m. at Jim's Original hot dog stand, 16 E. 95th St., according to police.
A man wearing a ski mask walked up to a customer window on the east side of the building, showed a handgun and announced he was robbing the place, according to police.
A clerk there said, "Don't you see the police right there,'' and pointed to the west side of the building where the officer, who was coming back from court duty, was at another widow, according to police.
The clerk ducked while the robber fired a shot and the officer returned fire while around the other side of the building.
