Be careful, one and all! Pray for a speedy recovery, office!
Screw U J-fed, Bea, and the rest of you do/know nothings!
God Bless this officer.
While I do of course hope that the copper pulls through, what was he doing in a parked car at 2am in that neighborhood? Nothing good happens after midnight in this town. Stay safe, fellas.
What happened? Stick-up? Domestic?
Our thoughts and prayers are with the officer and his family, and with the family of the female victim.
was it on duty, where did it happen? is it true, someone else got shot with him?
my Prayers are with that officer and his family God bless recover soon!!
I am really praying hard for him and his family. Everyone reading this should just say a small prayer for him. What a tragedy.
Rough neihgborhood for 0130 Hrs. Hope the officer turns out OK.
Thoughts and prayers to the woman in his car who died also.
Please God, not again. Watch over this officer and help him pull through.
Oh shit..... my prayers are with him!!!
God help us all.
we pray for the officer, god give him strength.
God Bless him and the family
I am and will continue to pray for him.
I can't take this anymore. Short shanks - JFed - Blago. The sickening corruption on top of all of this crime and violence. Vicious crime which takes good innocent people.
Additionally my prayers and wishes for the police officer who was shot tonight and my condolences to the family of the woman who was killed.
May God Bless him and his beautiful girlfriend that didn't make it... My prayers are with them and their family.
God be with him and his family.
Get Well
He's in our, hearts, thoughts and prayers............
We worked together in Area One about ten years ago. He always has a smile and a good wish for everybody he comes in contact with.
Now, I'm wishing the same good thoughts for him.
Please pull threw...God don't let another shithead take a CPD brothers life!
Bob,
My prayers are with you and your family. Hang in there DUDE we need you back in B & A. We will find the scum that did this to you and Kathryn and they will pay.
What really pissed me off is the Trib had a picture of his vehicle and the license plate was in full view for everyone to see it. If it was sh*tbird joe's, they wouldn't have published that.
Godspeed officer.
I' m sure the cities response will be to put up a useless camera,moronic segway patrols,and sissified goofs on bikes who look like a womens bobsled team from ESTONIA.My thoughts and prayers are with both the officer and his girlfriend.It could happen anywhere boys/girls.
While I do of course hope that the copper pulls through, what was he doing in a parked car at 2am in that neighborhood? Nothing good happens after midnight in this town. Stay safe, fellas.

Why on earth, at a time like this, would you say something like that. Who cares where and when he was parked and with whom. Aslong as he was doing nothing illegal then it shouldn't be an issue.
fuck this department and good wishes where are the strong guys that will setp up to the plate
God bless and a speedy recovery.
HUGS to all our Thin Blue Line Family. be safe xoxoxoxo
Worked with him in the old YDA (184). He went to NY after 9/11 to help and never looked for recognition. Always friendly and helpful and his laugh was infectious. He's in God's hands..........
Retired in 2003
Richie Soto? Unbelievable! I would never have thought HE could be taken down by anyone but God Himself!!!
the lord is my sheperd...............
Our prayers are with the officer, his job is tough enough as it is. May God guide the doctors trying to save him.
My thoughts and prayers are with this Officer. No one seems to be safe anymore. Be careful out there.
Prayers!
Richie Soto?
NO....Robert
How people could immediately think ill of a fellow copper is beyond me.Our thoughts and prayers should go out to he and his girlfiends family.Unless we stay together the bad guys are going to destroy us,and then who do we blame?
Please carry your weapons on your person off duty, please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thoughts and prayers from the Illinois State Police to our CPD brothers/sisters and the families of Officer Soto and Ms Romberg.
was that Bobby who was my FTO in 10 back in 91 and then went to Det Admin?? Top notch copper one of the best. Literally taught me everthing I know or ever need to know. God Bless! You know I'm praying for you buddy.
Worked with Bob many years ago in 009. He was always friendly and willing to help. This is such a tragedy. My heart goes out to both families. Stay strong....we are all pulling for you!!
Please carry your weapons on your person off duty, please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was armed. Wrong place to be sitting in a car for any length of time.
God bless him to pull through!
I'm an old retired copper and I just feel like sitting on the curb and crying....god help us all!!!!!!!!!
God Bless to both of them...
Prayers for Detective Soto and Ms. Romberg. Condolences for her family.
I hope the shooter(s) are brought to justice, permanently, soon.

hey bobby,hang in there buddy my prayers are with you stay strong and overcome this....DUDE HANG IN THERE......prayers out to his family and of course to the young lady that lost her life,prayers to her and her love ones....guys becarful out there.....
I hope the copper pulls through....the rest of you keep that off-duty piece close at hand, and at all times remain vigilant . This can happen anywhere ...
Just heard the sad news, may you Rest In Peace Brother. You'll be missed by everyone.
Prayers go out to the two families. I'm sure Jody and his Rat Squad will botch the investigation into this incident. Be safe out there.
My thoughts/feelings/prayers & sympathy are with you in this terrible time, Brother
He's gone,there was nothing they could do.He was able to give a description of his attackers.From what was reported he left behind a wife and a disabled brother.God Bless Him and His Family.
News report at 0400 that Bobby expired at 0300; our thoughts and prayers are with his immediate and extended CPD family. Godspeed, Bob. Rest in Peace
rest in peace, Bob.
Jody and Monique have already botched it- Ms. Romberg's friends are telling the press they met online and were dating and Jody and co. are saying they had no relationship. Just shup up already!
I am praying for both human beings whose lives have ended and all the people suffering as a result of this unusual set of circumstances.
Stay safe and live responsibly.
Fellow officers in a case like this there may have been no warning or no time to react...I understand this was a robbery...and if so...Bob may not have had much or any time to react...with that said in any event ALWAYS carry your weapon...NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE GOING OR FOR HOW LONG...ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY!!!! You have been given the permission to carry a weapon....CARRY IT!!! off duty at all times!! Several years ago I attended the "Bulletproof Mind" seminar presented by Lt Col David Grossman and if that didn't convince you to carry your weapon off duty I don't know what will...EXCELLENT seminar...if you ever get the opportunity to see him do it.I understand that Det SOTO passed away from his injuries today at 0300hrs as reported by the media....Rest in Peace Bob and let all officers everywhere be protected from evil, God bless and please be safe!!
016 Dist
Hey, SCC. They're saying this was an armed robbery. Gone bad, apparently; don't know if they got anything off the officer or the lady. There's a pattern in this area. But no one (police or community) has heard/been told about it. WHY?
J Fed and his crew are good actors they don't care about us.
I'm an old retired copper and I just feel like sitting on the curb and crying....god help us all!!!!!!!!!
