Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the officer is 'in critical condition but receiving excellent care' at University of Chicago Hospital.
The gunman reportedly targeted a woman who was dressed in hospital scrubs in Mercy's parking lot and shot her multiple times.

'I don't know what happened,' she said.
One employee of the hospital's family clinic heard eight or nine shots. Employees and patients at the clinic locked the doors and hid in the back.
'I am scared as hell. I have never been so scared, I hear of shootings going on every day at people's workplaces but not where I work,' an employee told WLS.
'This was very close to me. That could have been us back there and if any bullets had pierced the wall we all would have been hurt.'

The hospital was later 'partially evacuated' and people were put on Chicago Transit Authority buses while officers searched Mercy.
'They told us to run, so we did,' another employee added.
Police have asked people to avoid the area and fire crews remain at the scene.
Footage from the hospital showed several people, including those in white doctor coats, walking through a parking lot with their arms up.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
