Narrative:

On climb out of O'hare, aircraft developed an oil pressure problem. This was confirmed by a red 'engine 2 oil psi' cwp and a fluctuation in oil pressure gauge. The captain and I decided to shut down the engine. We declared an emergency, carried out all emergency checks, communicated with ATC and flight attendants, and safely brought the aircraft back to O'hare. The landing was uneventful, crash and fire rescue was then secured. We taxied back to the gate and deplaned passenger.
