Man Charged After Albany Park Standoff That Left Woman and SWAT Officer Shot

Prosecutors filed multiple felony counts and a detention hearing is set as investigators continue forensic and motive inquiries.

Overview

  • Police say Daniel Aguirre barricaded himself in an Albany Park home and held a 42-year-old woman and a 14-year-old girl at gunpoint before surrendering to negotiators.
  • Officers found a 67-year-old woman shot in the face and took her to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center where she was reported in critical condition.
  • A Chicago Police SWAT officer was shot in the abdomen when Aguirre allegedly fired through a door during a breach attempt and underwent surgery and was later reported stable and expected to recover.
  • Prosecutors on Wednesday charged Aguirre with multiple felonies, including attempted murder and aggravated-discharge counts, and a detention hearing will decide pretrial custody.
  • Investigators are reviewing a 911 open line, ballistic paths, family relationships and reports that gas was briefly turned on inside the apartment as they build evidence for trial.
