I have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach over this tragedy. My condolences to the family.

That said, the officer(s) who shot at and only wounded the murderer need a LOT more range time... His fate should have been sealed at the scene.

In broad daylight right in front of the police station. I can only surmise the *plug who did this was doped up, suicidal, or both.

He was also crazy. According to reports he has a long history of mental illness, as well as arrests. He shot his own brother a few years back.

It's starting to seem more and more apparent as to why directors picked Chicago to film Dark Knight. It's seeming more and more so everyday like we are all living in that movie where the city's crime is out of hand.

Oh spare me the fake outrage and hysteria. As though you, or 99.9% of people on this forum ever spend a moment on the south side or ever have. Let the good man rest in peace.
