Two people have been shot dead by a Chicago police officer responding to a domestic disturbance call, authorities said.
Quintonio Legrier, 19, and Bettie Jones, 55, died in hospital early on Saturday after being shot on the city's West Side.
Officers responding to the call at about 4.25am "were confronted by a combative subject", Chicago police said in a statement.
Authorities have not disclosed any other details about the shooting and police did not say whether either of the victims was armed.
Autopsies have not yet been scheduled, a medical examiner's office spokesperson said.

Mr Legrier's mother, Janet Cooksey, told the Chicago Tribune her son "didn't have a gun. He had a bat".
She said her son had been dealing with mental health issues, but said police did not have to react the way they did.
Ms Cooksey added: "We're thinking the police are going to service us, take him to the hospital. They took his life."
She said her son was studying engineering at Northern Illinois University.
Ms Jones' brother, Melvin Jones, said his sister - a mother of five - had just celebrated Christmas with the family the day before.
He said: "I'm numb right now. Right now there's a whole lot of anger, a whole lot of tears. ... I don't have time to feel. I have a funeral to prepare."

The shooting comes amid of a federal civil rights investigation into the Chicago Police Department's use of deadly force.
The probe was launched earlier this month after the release of a video showing a white officer shooting black 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times in 2014.
The officer, Jason Van Dyke, is charged with first-degree murder.
Both Mr Legrier and Ms Jones were black. Police have not revealed the race of the police officer involved in Saturday's fatal shooting.
The case has been referred to the city's main police oversight agency, police said.
