Also nobody is reporting that it was fatal yet, so your cousin has inside information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Take it for what it’s worth, I work across the street at another state building and one of our security guards told me that the officer, who was off duty, saw drug dealing going in a stairwell outside the building, confronted the men and was shot point blank multiple times in the head.

Brian Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Wow. That's an unusual spot downtown for a shooting, isn't it. Thank you for your service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Trib article is heartbreaking: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/b...0213-story.html I don't think the commander started it. I think he just heard on radio from another team that was going to do a street stop and cornered them on run. Was off duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a Chris Noth lookalike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
