One Dead, Officers Safe
Chicago police shot and killed a male this morning following both a vehicle and foot chase in the city's Englewood neighborhood, authorities said.
An officer received a minor hand injury that was being treated at Holy Cross Hospital, according to fire department officials.
The shooting occurred at about 1:50 a.m. in the 7300 block of South Emerald Avenue, police said.
The Cook County medical examiner's office confirmed the shooting death, but had no other details on the victim.
A police spokeswoman couldn't say how the shooting occurred, saying a formal statement would be released later today.
A police source said the shooting appeared to have stemmed from a police pursuit, where a vehicle with several male occupants inside refused to pull over.
During the pursuit, the vehicle pulled over and the males bailed out of the vehicle, fleeing on foot.
Good job, Officers.

Gotta love the media. The Trib has the comment section closed and the way they ended the article makes us look like we are out of control.

WTF calling the shitbag offender the victim once again media????
The guy should have taken the plea deal.... oh wait... society is better off that this CPS honor student is gone and we do not pay for his incarceration.
Thank God she's able to go home to her family this Thanksgiving.
They do not fear us, people; be very, very careful out there.
Good job glad everyone is ok. According to Camden the officer was feeling faint and at that time she shot the offender. Very poor choice of words orange one. I know you have to justify your inflated salarybut speak intelligently or shut up. A lawsuit is a given anyway but this is exactly why no statement is the way to go. Which is exactly what IPRA does they say nothing. I don't see what was wrong with sticking with that.
WHAT WASN THE ASSHOLE JUDGES NAME WHO LET THE POS GO JUST A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THIS?
IT JUST GETS WORSE FOR US.
HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
From the article:
"The man was identified as Devon Ross, 27, of the 500 block of East 60th Street. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Last month, a Cook County judge acquitted Ross of two counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, according to court records."
Good job
God bless the Officer is safe! Anyone know the name of the Judge who acquitted the idiot last month? I know the Judges are immune from lawsuits but something has to be done about the non-stop revolving door of violent offenders getting off with little or no punishment at all. 26/cal is a joke!
Good shooting , attempt by a person to disarm an officer not only allows use of deadly force , it is required if the Police Officer wants to survive.
1st words , the family wants to hire an attorney .
Happy Thanksgiving and thank the Lord the Police Oficers are safe.
I never post on here but I feel the need ... It was a wild and crazy night overnight resulting in a friend having to fight for her life ... she won ... bad guy lost ... I am giving thanks that she gets to spend Thanksgiving with her family. I hope everyone says a little thank you prayer for her. So every one enjoy your Thanksgiving .... God Bless you and your family
As I watched her through my window leave for work Wednesday night, I wanted to say "be careful, it's going to be busy!" But I didn't want to appear like I was the hovering mother figure, and besides, she has done more real police work in her short career than I have in my 25 plus years...so I just waved. The next morning, I saw the headline and thought it might have been her, then we received a text stating that it was and that she was okay. On this Thanksgiving, we are so very thankful for her and her partner's safety. Thank you God for watching over her and all of the officers who are out there every day and night while most of the people of this city sleep safely in their beds.

Shithead's momma or auntie was already on the news screaming that the "pooleese kilt the wrong man, it was that third shot what put him down, he was a good boy."
(good boy = 27 year old felon piece of shit)
channel 7 jason knowles reports today, interviewing all the so called witnesses as if they were there and slants the story attempting to make anyone watching the news believe what the so called witnesses say is the truth . he goes on to state the police officer received medical attention to her face and states if indeed she was even punched . what an a******
IAD Has some coldhearted individuals responding to the scene of shootings. Her old ass should be fired. What a b@&$#! Happy Thanksgiving
Good work officers. This is what I am thankful for. One less predator on the street. Thank you for making Chicago a safer place.

Suggestion: When you put a shithead in the lockup at A2, "suggest" that they don't think of hanging themselves with their dirty stinking underwear and then make sure the filthy rag is within reach.
MAYOR DALEY IS NOW 99!this is why you retire early so you can enjoy retirement with your spouse!

Scum Times headline: " Cop shoots man dead after punching officer in the face."
How disgustingly misleading; what a bunch of cowards these people are that try to pass themselves off as "journalists."

-------25th District 3rd Watch----
Capt KB is at it again. Can you believe how cheap this guy is? 3rd watch had Boston Market cater thanksgiving dinner for free. Capt KB takes the majority of the turkey and puts it in his car to take home. Meanwhile, the majority of officers are left to eat stuffing.
Enjoy your retirement asshat.
A little lead stuffing for the englewood turkey, compliments of Chicago's Finest!!! God Bless this fine Officer!! Great job!!!!!

IT JUST GETS WORSE FOR US.
HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
Why do you want the judges name? He was found not guilty in a jury trial. Research and have the facts before you spout off. It was a jury that set him free, not the bench.
In Englewood?Im shocked,how could this happen with all the Mensan geniuses that live there and work so hard at their technical jobs.
Thank God the officer was a quick thinker and a quicker shot. The absentee witnesses are all screaming and jumping up and down about the fine, upstanding man that was "murdered by the police." Like my grandmother always said, "Worry when they stop talking about you!" ie; Definately a good shooting. This is one Thanksgiving you and yours won't soon forget. God Bless

If you want a meal then pay for it. $5 is worth it for a catered meal. Why worry about that prick KB? He is a selfish, bitter old man. Let him go and pay for your catered food. You will feel better about yourself.

Boston Market is better than about 98% of catering. $5 a person will get you shit on a stick. Go blow KB maybe he give you a piece of turkey, then you can be cool and say you paid for it.
